“I’ve met people like you. Young men who’ve lost their way. Who are desperate for help, for salvation. Who feel like they’re drowning. And I’ve led them out of the dark, just as I’ll lead you” North-East England, 1983. As a snowstorm rages outside, trainee singer Russell and his mother Maud await the arrival of a young priest, who believes Russell is a victim of possession. A winner of The RSC’s 37 Plays competition, Radiant Boy is a thrilling new play with music about faith, shame, queerness and finding connection through art, with a soundtrack of traditional songs, North-East folk music and 80s New Wave.
