Cruise ~ February 29th, 1988. Soho, London.

Recently nominated for the 2022 Oliver award for Best New Play and following rave reviews, the theatre show CRUISE returns to Londons West End for a strictly limited run from 13 August to 4th September 2022.

The stunning, joyful and wholeheartedly life-grabbing (The Guardian), CRUISE The Play is the true story of what should have been Michael Spencers last night on earth, performing live for a strictly limited season at the Apollo Theatre, must end 4th September. Following the phenomenal success of its maiden voyage at the Duchess Theatre in 2021, CRUISE returns to the West End to dazzle audiences once again.

When hes diagnosed with HIV in 1984, Michael is told hell have four years to live at most. So, with the clock ticking, he and his partner Dave decide to sell their house, flog the car, and spend everything they have to party like its the last days of Rome. When Dave dies two years later, Michael doubles down on his hedonistic ways, spending what little he has on drink and drugs.

On the last night of his four-year countdown the 29th February, 1988 Michael decides to go out with a bang. He puts on his favourite jacket, heads for Soho, and embarks on a long night of farewells. He says his goodbyes, dances, sings, and says yes to everything and everyone. Then, with all his affairs taken care of, Michael promptly survives.

Michael got lucky. Hes been given the gift of life; but what kind of life can he now live?

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
