Casting has been announced for the revival of Adam Zane’s play Jock Night at the Seven Dials Playhouse in London.
Already announced is David Paisley (Holby City, BBC1) leading the cast as Ben, and he will be joined by Sam Goodchild as Kam (Far Away, The Convert), Levi Payne (Jekyll & Hyde, Hench) as AJ, George Hughes as Simon, and Matthew Gent (Cabaret, The Phantom of the Opera) as Russell.
The play is billed as a raw, hilarious and provocative comedy drama about contemporary gay life, love, and relationships, and highlights thought-provoking issues in the LGBTQ+ community through the lens of comedy and compassion.
Writer Adam Zane, who is Artistic Director of the show’s producer Hive North, said in a statement: “Bringing together this incredible mix of talent for Jock Night has been a phenomenal journey. David’s depth, combined with the sheer prowess of actors like Sam, Levi, George, and Matthew, promises to elevate the Jock Night narrative to new heights. Each of these actors not only brings their craft but also an innate understanding of the complexities we’re portraying. I know that this ensemble will tell our story with authenticity, humour, and heart.”
Actor David Paisley said: “I am absolutely ecstatic to be a part of Jock Night, an unapologetically queer exploration of contemporary gay life and the complexities of friendships, sex and relationships. Adam Zane’s script is hilarious, cuttingly honest, and thought provoking, and I feel honoured to bring the character of Ben to life.”
Jock Night is playing at Seven Dials from 9 October to 4 November 2023.
