Get tickets to new musical Redcliffe in London

★★★★★ “A masterpiece of a musical” (What’s On Stage)

Thrilling new musical Redcliffe, written by and starring West End leading man Jordan Luke Gage (Bonnie & Clyde, Heathers, & Juliet) is transferring to the West End after a critically-acclaimed, sold out run at the Southwark Playhouse in London in summer 2026.

This explosive new musical is based on the haunting 18th century true story of William Critchard and Richard Arnold in Redcliffe, Bristol, and is an epic tale of forbidden love and how much people are willing to risk for the chance to love on their own terms.

Redcliffe is playing at Criterion Theatre in the West End from 28 January to 17 April 2027.

“It has been my greatest fulfilment creating Redcliffe and exploring the world of 18th century Bristol, a time that was beyond terrifying for men like me to exist in. To be able to tell this story, one which has never been told on the public stage, and to be able to hopefully move, uplift and change people, is beyond thrilling for me as both writer and actor.” – Jordan Luke Gage

William, a man from humble beginnings, is swept up in a hurricane of passion and danger when he meets Richard, a sailor visiting the town. This meeting forces both men to question everything they knew about the world and themselves.
