The full cast has been announced for Coming Clean at Trafalgar Studios 2. Lee Knight (A Very Very Very Dark Matter) will star as Tony, Elliot Hadley (5 Guys Chillin’) as William/Jurgen, Stanton Plummer-Cambridge (The Tempest at Southwark Playhouse) as Greg and Jonah Rzeskiewicz, who is making his West End debut, as Robert.
The play is set in 1980s North London, following a couple in an open relationship of sorts. But while Tony is starting to want something more exclusive, he finds out Greg has been having an long-term affair with their cleaner. Examining the lines between monogamy, commitment and love, this is a transfer of Adam Spreadbury-Maher’s 35th anniversary production.
Rehearsal images from The Boy Friend were released today. The production opens at the Menier Chocolate Factory on 22 November. Check them out!
