JETHRO COMPTON LTD presents
BELT UP THEATRE’S
THE BOY JAMES
in association with SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE
25 January – 11 February 2012
the Goldsmith, London
Belt Up Theatre’s runaway success returns to London for three weeks prior to its international debut in Australia at the Adelaide Festival
From multiple critically acclaimed and sell-out runs in London and Edinburgh comes a dark, beautiful tale of one boy’s awakening to the harsh realities of adulthood. Play with him, and take his hand as you lead him back to Neverland.
After a run at Southwark Playhouse in January 2011, The Boy James is returning to Southwark for three weeks as part of Southwark Playhouse’s ‘Out and About’ programme. The show will make a new home above The Goldsmith, a bar and restaurant originally built as part of the London Fire Brigade Station. The company will be transforming the space into a fully formed immersive environment.
Jethro Compton will continue his role of The Boy and will be joined in this production by Belt Up regular Serena Manteghi as the Girl (Lorca is Dead, Quasimodo, Antigone, Atrium, The Tartuffe) and co-Artistic Director Dominic Allen as James (Macbeth, The Tartuffe, The Trial, Lorca is Dead, Quasimodo).
