In this episode of Queerly’s Stage and Screen Podcast, Harvey Morton sits down with actor Pedro Leandro, who is starring as Neville in the world premiere production of Flora Wilson Brown’s adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s The Waves at Jermyn Street Theatre.

Pedro shares his early memories of Virginia Woolf’s work, including his mum’s warning that Woolf’s writing was “quite difficult” — and how he found unexpected clarity and warmth in this new adaptation. He talks about embodying Neville, a character whose experiences as a gay man resonate deeply, and the joy he finds in acting across theatre, film, and television.

Listeners will get insight into Pedro’s journey from his breakthrough role in the horror trilogy The Strangers to working with prestigious theatre companies like the Royal Shakespeare Company. He also reflects on the intimate atmosphere of Jermyn Street Theatre and what audiences can expect from this powerful, immersive production.

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about art, identity, and the enduring relevance of Woolf’s masterpiece.
