The Young Vic Theatre have released a first look at Entertaining Mr Sloane, directed by Nadia Fall, which is currently playing at the venue through until 8 November, 2025.
Jordan Stephens makes his stage debut in production alongside Tamzin Outhwaite, Daniel Cerqueira and Christopher Fairbank in Joe Orton’s queer cult classic – a ruthless, dark comedy that remains as provocative and shocking today as it was 62 years ago.
When lonely Kath (Outhwaite) offers the mysterious Mr Sloane (Stephens) a room to rent in the family home, her businessman brother Ed (Cerqueira) does not approve. After all, what will people say? But soon, he becomes equally taken with the charismatic young Sloane. Only their old Dada (Fairbank) remains wary, convinced that he recognises this stranger. What begins as a convenient living arrangement spirals into a dangerous game of desire and deceit.
The creative team for Entertaining Mr Sloane brings together set and costume designer Peter McKintosh, lighting designer Richard Howell, sound designer Tingying Dong, movement director James Cousins, and wigs, hair and make-up designer Carole Hancock.
