Rizzle Kicks star, Jordan Stephens will make his stage debut in the Young Vic’s upcoming production of Entertaining Mr Sloane
Entertaining Mr Sloane plays at the Young Vic 15 September – 8 November 2025.
Jordan will be joined by Christopher Fairbank (Auf Wiedersehen, Pet) and the previously announced Tamzin Outhwaite (Abigail’s Party) and Daniel Cerqueira (A Gentleman in Moscow) in Joe Orton’s queer cult classic – a ruthless, dark comedy that remains as provocative and shocking today as it was 62 years ago.
Rizzle Kicks recently made a comeback after a 9 year hiatus with a brand new album and a summer of appearances at Glastonbury, Boardmasters, The Great Escape and Big Feastival, as well as a successful UK tour. Jordan Stephens is also an accomplished actor, with television credits including The Ex-Wife for 2 series, Starstruck and Catastrophe and films including Teen Spirit and Star Wars: Rogue One. He also hosted ITV2’s Don’t Hate The Playaz for 4 series.
Having spoken publicly about his struggles with mental health, Jordan has been active in raising awareness around existing stigma. His mental health campaign #IAMWHOLE reached over 120 million people online and was mentioned in the Houses of Parliament.
The creative team for Entertaining Mr Sloane brings together Set & Costume Designer Peter McKintosh, Lighting Designer Richard Howell, Sound Designer Tingying Dong, Movement Director James Cousins, Casting Director Amy Ball CDG, Fight and Intimacy Director Haruka Kuroda, Voice & Dialect Coach Richard Ryder, Wigs, Hair & Make-Up Designer Carole Hancock, Costume Supervisor Yvonne Milnes, Props Supervisor Jamie Owens and Jerwood Assistant Director Alex Hurst.
When lonely Kath (Tamzin Outhwaite) offers the mysterious Mr Sloane (Jordan Stephens) a room to rent in the family home, her businessman brother Ed (Daniel Cerqueira) does not approve. After all, what will people say? But soon, he becomes equally taken with the charismatic young Sloane. Only their old Dada (Christopher Fairbank) remains wary, convinced that he recognises this stranger. What begins as a convenient living arrangement spirals into a dangerous game of desire and deceit.
