S9 Ep26: Jordan Luke Gage, writer of Redcliffe

As a special Pride Month treat, Jordan Luke Gage is back In The Frame to discuss his brand new musical Redcliffe! 

Over the past year Jordan has been busy writing his first musical. Based on the true events of William Critchard and Richard Arnold in Bristol during the 1750s, Redcliffe is a tale of forbidden love during the persecution people faced for hundreds of years. 

The show was previewed as part of MT Fest in February ahead of a full workshop in May which concluded with four sold-out performances at The Other Palace Studio. Jordan has written Redcliffe's music, book and lyrics whilst also playing William.

This episode features a special recording of 'Void Of Love' from Redcliffe, performed by Jordan during the musical's run at MT Fest.

Jordan's stage credits include Marilyn in Taboo (Brixton Clubhouse), Strat in Bat Out Of Hell (Dominion), Romeo in the premiere of & Juliet (Manchester/Shaftesbury), JD in Heathers (Theatre Royal Haymarket) and Clyde in the UK premiere of Bonnie and Clyde (Arts & Garrick). 

Jordan has starred in concert productions of The Light in the Piazza (Alexandra Palace Theatre), Bat Boy (London Palladium) and Bare (London Palladium). He has done countless workshops, most recently including Thelma & Louise (Sonia Friedman). In 2022 Jordan played two sold out solo shows at HERE at Outernet.

On screen, Jordan recently completed filming the indie film Alchemy Of The Word and has recently been seen as a series regular in Sky's Royal Kill List.  His other screen credits include Cilla (ITV), Cucumber (Channel 4) and How Not To Disappear Completely.
