A PRODUCTION created in Ealing is the first locally-supported start-up to hit the West End in time for Christmas.
GHBoy, which ran for two sold-out shows before lockdown, will return to the Charing Cross Theatre in December.
It is the first stage play to receive support as a new business from the University of West London’s Westmont Enterprise Hub.
Written by acting lecturer Paul Harvard and starring London College of Music graduates on and off stage, it was made possible by the Hub, which took on the project as a new business.
It transformed the idea into a company with ownership over everything from the script and creative copyright right through to taking on actors as employees rather than freelance performers. It also secured an Arts Council COVID grant.
Originally planned to go live in March, before lockdown hit theatres, GHBoy will now run from December 3-20 at the Charing Cross Theatre. https://ghboy.co.uk/
