Show Notes
For this special bonus episode of the pod, Nancy went to talk to writer/performer Jordan Luke Gage and director Paul Foster about the new musical Redcliffe running at Southwark Playhouse. Jordan has spent the last three years writing the show, and he also stars in it - musical theatre fans will have seen his amazing performances in Bonnie and Clyde, Heathers, &Juliet and Titanique.
Set against the backdrop of 18th Century England, the musical is based on the true story of William Critchard and Richard Arnold who met in Redcliffe, Bristol. It's an epic, funny and moving tale of forbidden love during the persecution people faced for hundreds of years.
Plus you can hear Jordan sing one of the beautiful songs from the show, Void of Love.
You can find out more about the show on Instagram @redcliffemusical and find us @thelondontheatrereview. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
