 Trafalgar Studios 2 is a wonderfully intimate space and last night our whatsonstage.com theatregoers were out in force taking over the whole theatre to see the stage adaptation of William Sutcliffe’s best-selling novel New Boy.

With the theatre all to ourselves we laughed out loud at this tale of friendship, love, sex, and how the lines between these can often blur. The entire cast carry this rapidly moving coming of age story with perfect comic timing and a great deal of honesty. After this wonderful show we were joined by the whole cast, as well as the adapter/director Russell Labey, for a post-show question and answer session which was both interesting and amusing.

Edited highlights from this Q&A will appear in the news section of the site shortly and are definitely worth a look. Russell Labey gives us an insight into adapting the play and the cast talk about everything from why they wanted to be in this play, to learning lines, and not laughing on stage.

Please do feel free to email your comments and thoughts about the play, as well as any photos you have of the event and the evening through to feedback@whatsonstage.com, we love to hear from you. Thanks for joining us for this event, and do check the homepage to keep up to date on all of our upcoming news and events.
