Renos Nicos Spanoudes chats to Josh Lindberg (Director) and Daniel Geddes (Actor) about the Olivier Award nominated play ‘Cruise' for six shows only at Theatre Linden in Johannesburg from Tuesday 6th – Sunday 11th December 2022.
Presented by HIV@40 and starring Daniel Geddes, Cruise is “an emotional roller-coaster without ever once losing its hold on your attention” – Evening Standard. Cruise is the true story of what should have been Michael Spencer’s last night on earth. When diagnosed with HIV in 1984 , Michael is told he will have four years left to live. So, with the clock ticking, he and his partner Dave decide to sell their house, flog the car and spend everything and party like it is the last days of the world.
Cruise opened in the West End of London in the thick of the Covid-19 Pandemic and was the first play to surface out of the pandemic. It ran for a month at The Duchess Theatre and due to popular demand and rave reviews, transferred to the Apollo Theatre in the West End, closing in September 2022. This South African production of Cruise is directed by Josh Lindberg, with original music by Roelof Colyn, set design by Wilhelm Disbergen, lighting by Jane Gosnell and produced by Colin Law with funding grants from the NAC , Department of Sports, Arts and Culture , PESP and AfroAsia Philanthropy (Thailand). Cruise stars the inimitable Daniel Geddes in the re-staging of the Jack Holden original work.
Daniel Geddes adds; “I’m super excited and honoured to be sinking my teeth into this incredible role. This Olivier nominated play is so important, and I can’t wait for South African audiences to see Jack’s amazing work for the first time this December.”
