Casting has been announced for Paul Bradshaw’s critically acclaimed double bill tell me straight//aggy, which transfers to King’s Head Theatre following acclaimed runs at Park Theatre earlier this year.
Running from 15 October to 14 November 2026, the production brings together two plays exploring contemporary dating, desire, race, privilege and creative ambition through candid, funny and emotionally honest portraits of modern queer life in London.
Multi-award-winning writer Paul Bradshaw will star in tell me straight alongside Elliott Rogers, with Jade Anouka providing the voice of Dani.
The fast-paced coming-of-adulthood play follows HIM, a thirty-something gay man whose long line of romantic fumbles have one thing in common: they are all straight.
Sick of HIM’s behaviour, best friend Dani insists he should fix up and “find an actual gay man, who likes actual gay men!”
In response, HIM embarks on a 30-day detox from alcohol, fast food and sex in a bid to avoid distractions, but straight men are never far away.
The second play in the double bill, aggy, stars Jean-Luke Worrell, Matthew Jordan and Jack Gittins, who reprises the role of Rex.
Exploring privilege, race and gender, the one-act play follows Lawrence and Mahlik as they prepare to move in together. When Mahlik suggests Lawrence adopt an alter ego to advance his career, the experiment quickly takes on a life of its own.
Bradshaw will co-direct aggy alongside Imogen Frances, who will also direct tell me straight.
The production is presented by SH Productions and telling tales, with Steph Hartland producing.
The creative team includes Olivier Award-winning set and costume designer Damien Stanton, lighting designer Cheng Keng, sound designer Eamonn O’Dwyer and video designer Matt Powell.
Previous praise for the double bill includes Broadway World’s description of the production as “unflinching, self-aware, and quietly profound”, while The Stage, Theatre & Tonic and London Theatre Reviews all awarded it four stars.
