Full cast announced for Jordan Luke Gage’s REDCLIFFE at The Other Palace

Full casting has been announced for REDCLIFFE, penned by Jordan Luke Gage, which receives a public workshop at The Other Palace from 29-31 May.

Harmonised by Ben Tomalin and directed by Bronagh Lagan, the cast includes Lauren Drew (Kinky Boots, Six The Musical) as Esther, Jordan Luke Gage (Bonnie & Clyde, & Juliet The Musical) as William, Nadine Higgin (Legally Blonde, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre; The Crucible, National Theatre) as Georgie, Leanne Jones (Hairspray, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun) as Landlady, Matteo Johnson (Halls the Musical, Bat Out Of Hell) as Jacob, Jessica Lee (Miss Saigon, The Prince of Egypt) as Louisa, Rebecca Lock (Mary Poppins, Elf The Musical) as Mother, Joseph Peacock (Kin, Titanic) as Arthur/2nd Officer, Steven Serlin (Hairspray, Priscilla The Party!) as Judge/Officer, Liam Tamne (Bonnie & Clyde, The Prince of Egypt) as Richard, Jess Douglas Welsh (RuneSical; Woven, Edinburgh Fringe) as Abigail, and Russell Wilcox (Annie, Billy Elliot) as Landlord John Baber.

REDCLIFFE is based on the true events of William Critchard and Richard Arnold in Redcliffe, Bristol in the 1750s and is an epic tale of forbidden love during the persecution people faced for hundreds of years.

William is feeling the pressure to find a wife whilst also being the breadwinner to his family. His mother’s nagging doesn’t help. When he meets Richard, he unlocks a world he had never dared to explore before and it’s clear there is no going back.

REDCLIFFE will be presented in a workshop format with actors using scripts at times, with limited tickets available to the public here.
