Jack Holden is our last interviewee of the year

Welcome to this bonus episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

Jack Holden had a runaway hit with Cruise back in 2021, one of the first new shows to rock the West End after the final lockdown. He’s been pretty much non-stop since then – with new, five-star production Kenrex opening to dazzling notices and audience acclaim in Sheffield. That show is now in the middle of a second London season, this time at The Other Palace in central London. It comes off the back of an assured stage version of The Line of Beauty, based on Alan Hollinghurst and adapted by Holden.

Needless to say, there’s a lot to discuss in the episode below!

Chief critic Sarah Crompton and editor-in-chief Alex Wood host a weekly series on all things theatrical. News, views, frank exchanges and lists offer an unmissable guide to what’s happening on stage (and in film and on television) now, in the past, and in future.

The podcast can be listened to on various streaming platforms – including Apple Podcasts and Audible. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode!
