The creative, musician, writer, performer, and one half of the chart-topping duo, Rizzle Kicks, will star in the production at the Young Vic this autumn.
Entertaining Mr Sloane - Concept by Émilie Chen, Photography by BlackSocks.
Jordan Stephens will star alongside Christopher Fairbank (Auf Wiedersehen), Tamzin Outhwaite (Abigail's Party), and Daniel Cerqueira (A Gentleman in Moscow).
Directed by the Young Vic's Artistic Director and CEO Nadia Fall, Entertaining Mr Sloane is Joe Orton's queer cult classic. It 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. Hailed as a ruthless, dark comedy, Entertaining Mr Sloane remains as provocative and shocking today as it was 62 years ago.
Jordan Stephens said: “I love the young Vic and feel incredibly grateful to have this opportunity. I’m terrified and excited. I couldn’t have imagined my stage debut arriving in this way, with such an iconic, wicked play and under the certified guidance of Nadia Fall- as well as stage veterans in Tamzin, Daniel and Chris. What an honour.”
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 from 15 September to 8 November 2025.
