Emile Ruddock is playing Roland in the premiere of A Knight's Tale The Musical.

Based on the 2001 film written and directed by Brian Helgeland which starred Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany, A Knight's Tale is running in Manchester at the Opera House. The show is adapted for the stage by Irish comedy writer and actor Brona C Titley, directed by Rachel Kavanaugh and choreographed by Matt Cole. 

Emile had a five year run in the West End production of Hamilton, starring as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison (Victoria Palace Theatre). Some of his other theatre credits include: Me and My Girl (Chichester Festival Theatre), The Rhythm Method (The Bush/Landor Theatre), Five Guys Named Moe (Marble Arch Theatre), Crazy For You (Watermill Theatre), Kiss Me Kate (UK Tour) and The Scottsboro Boys (Garrick Theatre/Young Vic).

Recorded at the rehearsal studio, in this episode Emile discusses why A Knight's Tale is a dream job, forging his own path into theatre without going to drama school as well as his time in Hamilton and lots more.

A Knight's Tale runs at the Manchester Opera House until 10th May 2025. Visit www.aknightstalemusical.com for info and tickets.
