Jordan Stephens (Rizzle Kicks) makes his stage debut in the Young Vic’s production alongside Tamzin Outhwaite (Abigail’s Party), Daniel Cerqueira (A Gentleman in Moscow) and Christopher Fairbank (Auf Wiedersehen).
Billed as a ruthless, dark comedy, Entertaining Mr Sloane follows the manipulative and sexually ambiguous Mr. Sloane as he worms his way into the lives of a middle-aged brother and sister, Kath and Ed, each of whom develops a disturbing attraction to him. The ruthless, dark comedy remains as provocative and shocking today as it was 62 years ago.
The creative team for the production includes Set & Costume Designer Peter McKintosh, Lighting Designer Richard Howell, Sound Designer Tingying Dong, Movement Director James Cousins, Casting Director Amy Ball CDG, Fight and Intimacy Director Haruka Kuroda, Voice & Dialect Coach Richard Ryder, Wigs, Hair & Make-Up Designer Carole Hancock, Costume Supervisor Yvonne Milnes, Props Supervisor Jamie Owens and Jerwood Assistant Director Alex Hurst.
Entertaining Mr Sloane plays at the Young Vic until 8 November 2025.
