STEVE starring Jenna Russell & David Ames extended at Seven Dials Playhouse

Heartfelt, hysterical, and sharp-witted comedy, Steve has been extended at new Covent Garden venue Seven Dials Playhouse, opening on 8 February and now running until 19 March 2022, due to popular demand.

The long awaited European premiere is directed by Andrew Keates and stars Holby City’s David Ames and Tony Award nominee and Olivier Award winner Jenna Russell, with further casting to be announced soon.

Steve illuminates LGBTQ+ relationships, both romantic and platonic. The play navigates the highs and lows of getting older, long-term friendship, monogamy, saying goodbye and being alive.

David Ames said: “I am ridiculously excited to start working on this poignant, moving and hilarious script alongside Jenna Russell with such talented director and crew.”

Jenna Russell said: “I’m thrilled we’re going to be extending our run of Steve, it’s such a gorgeous and hilarious study of friendship, modern families, loss, and Sondheim. I really hope you  can join us - bring your best mates, and some tissues! 

Written by Mark Gerard, Steve invites its audience to join a group of middle-aged LGBTQ+ New  Yorkers as they reflect on mortality, monogamy and musicals; with a Sondheim reference for every eventuality.

Seven Dials Playhouse’s production will offer audiences the option to book on-stage cabaret tables and indulge in themed cocktails throughout, in order to join the characters on-stage in a more intimate way. 

Executive Creative Producer Mitchell Reeve said: “I am thrilled with the response we have received from audiences who are booking tickets so far in advance to catch the European Premiere of Steve and I am delighted that we are able to extend the opportunity for more audiences to join us in our Manhattan Piano Bar next year.”
