Cloudburst Productions, in association with Southwark Playhouse, today announces the full cast for the world premiere of Radiant Boy at Southwark Playhouse Borough, written by Nancy Netherwood. Joining the previously announced Renée Lamb and Stuart Thompson are Ben Allen and Wendy Nottingham.

Directed by Júlia Levai, Radiant Boy opens at Southwark Playhouse Borough on 23 May, with previews from 21 May and runs until 14 June.

Júlia Levai said today, “I’m really looking forward to working with this wonderful cast on Radiant Boy. The play explores important themes like faith, identity, and connection, and I’m excited to see how the actors bring their unique energy to the characters. It’s a great opportunity to tell a story that feels both timely and personal, and I’m eager to share it with audiences.”

       

Radiant Boy is set in North-East England, 1983. As a snowstorm rages outside, trainee singer Russell and his mother Maud await the arrival of a young priest who believes Russell is a victim of possession. Winner of the RSC’s 37 plays competition, Radiant Boy is a new play about faith, shame, queerness, and finding connection through art.

The cast includes:
