Hoult becomes West End’s New Boy
About a Boy and Skins star Nicholas Hoult is to make his West End debut in New Boy, a play based on the novel by William Sutcliffe, which opens at the Trafalgar Studios in March next year.
Hoult will appear alongside Eurobeat’s Mel Giedroyc and Hollyoaks’ Ciara Janson in the production, which originally played at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2000 before moving to the Pleasance in London.
It was subsequently staged in Australia.
The production will be directed by Russell Labey, who adapted the book and who was at the helm of the show’s original outing. His other credits include Whistle Down the Wind and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
New Boy opens at the Trafalgar Studios on Tuesday March 17 and runs until April 11.
It is produced by Jason Haigh-Ellery and Stuart Piper, the team behind Lifecoach with Phill Jupitus, which ran at the Trafalgar Studios earlier this year.
