Cruise

He's a bit of a star, our Jack Holden! He has written this dazzlingly cool play and also stars in it, delivering a true story that will blow your mind. If you were around in the 1980s, when the HIV virus stalked the gay scene, you'll be whisked back to that extraordinary time. A one man show with a difference, complemented by live music on stage, it's being billed as Intoxicating, vibrant, urgent, moving and inspirational. It is indeed all those things, and more. Find your way to the gorgeous Duchess theatre to enjoy the boldest, saddest, happiest new play for a long time.

Aria Entertainment and Lambert Jackson present Cruise, complete with beautifully performed live music from John Elliott and direction by Bronagh Lagan. The scene is Soho and this, 29th February 1988, just happens to be Michael's last night on earth. Or is it? If you adored Channel 4's 'It's a Sin', you'll love this. If you were around in the '80s, you'll love it. And you'll love it if this is your first experience of those dark yet glittering times. Make your way to the Duchess theatre for a night to remember.

Mixed views - too personal!
The subject matter of Cruise was a time in which I lived and suffered! It brought many raw memories back and the main character was essentially me! Left feeling drained and extremely sad. Still a story and period that needs to be told!

A great one-person tour de force with exceptional musical narrative
Really enjoyed this production. Very engaging and a good mix of narrative, comedy, sadness, and a slice of history. Creative lighting fx, and excellent musical accompaniment. Not too long either. 5 Stars

A tour de force performance
So glad we chose this as our first theatre visit post lockdown- what an incredible performance by Jack Holden! As the author too, the story is obviously of great personal importance, and it shows. It’s a rollercoaster ride of laughter and tears , I felt very emotional throughout , and that has stayed with me. The production is very dynamic , the cuts are almost like a film edit, often achieved through the brilliant use of lighting, and the use of music is very well judged too. I would as many as possible to see this play, whether elders like myself who lived through this tumultuous period, or younger generations curious to find out more post ‘It’s a Sin’

Original, brilliant and compelling
Jack Holden's one man show is a tour de force of imagination, writing and performance: funny,moving and exhilarating.
