What Is Redcliffe About?
Set against the backdrop of an oppressive 18th-century England, Redcliffe follows William Critchard and Richard Arnold as they find themselves swept into a hurricane of passion, danger and self-discovery. From different walks of life, the two men are brought together by a chance encounter in Redcliffe, Bristol. As their connection deepens, their love ultimately ends with their deaths.
Blending a vast range of music within its score, including traditional musical theatre and soaring choral arrangements, Redcliffe is a musical which has “all the makings of a modern classic” (Stalls to Stage).
The History of Redcliffe
Inspired to write this show after a visit to the Bristol archives, Jordan Luke Gage first presented Redcliffe at MTFestUK, a platform dedicated to showcasing new work, in 2024. The first full workshop performance was staged at The Other Palace in 2024, with subsequent performances happening before being fully staged for the first time in a limited, and highly successful run, at the Southwark Playhouse Borough in 2026.
