James Quaife Productions have today announced that its world premiere production of Paul Harvard’s debut play GHBoy has been released for streaming online via Vimeo on Demand.

The burgeoning party scene of East London hides a dark secret: a swathe of young men dying unexpectedly, with whispers of an unnamed killer.

In the midst of all this, Robert is grieving the death of his father. He desperately wants to be a better person, but trapped in a pattern of substance abuse and infidelity, he has a lingering fear that he will never find love and acceptance. Unexpectedly, his boyfriend Sergio proposes, compelling Robert to turn his back on addiction and self-sabotage – before he destroys this final chance at happiness.

But first, he must confront a truth buried deep within his subconscious, something he himself doesn’t yet fully understand.

The production features Sylvester Akinrolabu, Geoff Aymer, Marc Bosch, Jimmy Essex, Devesh Kishore, Aryana Ramkhalawon and Nicola Sloane, as directed by Jon Pashley. The show sees design by Bettina John, with lighting by Tony Simpson and sound by Rona Castrioti.

Producer James Quaife said: “After our run of GHBoy was delayed and then cut short by lockdowns last year, we were determined to bring the production to those that were unable to catch it in person. We are so proud of this company production and so, even with minimal equipment and no time to reset scenes for camera, we really wanted to share this recording for audiences across to country to enjoy at home.”

The production is available to stream now here.
