Rehearsal images have been released for the upcoming London revival of Four Play by Jake Brunger, opening at King’s Head Theatre on 11 July 2025.
Directed by Jack Sain, Four Play stars Daniel Bravo, Lewis Cornay, Jo Foster, and Zheng Xi Yong, with Jack Gibson covering. The production marks ten years since the play’s world premiere at the Old Vic Theatre.
Jake Brunger said, “I’m honestly so thrilled that Four Play is returning to London ten years after its world premiere at the Old Vic Theatre. I’ve made a few little tweaks to the play to bring it bang up to date to reflect the ever-changing nature of queer relationships today. As someone predominantly known for being a musical theatre writer, I’m particularly delighted that we’ve found a cast of actors who are also mostly known for their work in that genre. I can’t wait to see them in action!”
Jack Sain added, “It’s a joy to be reuniting with Jake and to be heading into rehearsals with this breathtaking cast and creative team. Four Play may exist within a queer universe, but its questions are universal. Where do we draw the line? What is human nature and what is social construct? And are we all, ultimately, destined to own a display-only Diptyque candle? Four Play is a chaotic cuddle of a play, full of catty cackles, crises and caresses: we cannot wait to bring it to the King’s Head stage.”
The play explores the complexities of modern relationships through the story of Rafe and Pete, a couple who have never been with anyone else. Their plan to explore new experiences with mutual friend Michael leads to unexpected emotional consequences.
Four Play features original music by Benedict Cork, design by Peiyao Wang, movement direction by Charlie Martin, lighting design by Daniel Carter-Brennan, sound design by Julian Starr, and casting by Nicholas Hockaday.
