Infos

Stephen Laughton's one-man play explores what it means to love, to lose, and how to grow from a boy into a man, as a gay Jewish kid sneaks out over Shabbat to meet his boyfriend - and his universe implodes. This version of Run was selected for the 2016 VAULT Festival, London. The play was later staged in a revised version at The Bunker, London, in 2017.

Stephen Laughton is a playwright whose work includes: One Jewish Boy (Old Red Lion, London, 2018; Trafalgar Studios, West End, 2020); Run ( VAULT Festival, London, 2016; The Bunker, London, 2017) ; Nine (part of the PlayWROUGHT#3 Festival at the Arcola Theatre, 2015); and Marina Abramovic is Staring at Me (Terra Firma Theatre's 2011-12 Boxcar Reading Series at the Railroad Playhouse in Newburgh, New York, then Cell Theatre, Manhattan) .  His work for television includes Forward (Blacklisted Films) and Black Hill (Lime Pictures). He is currently the Writer in Residence in the Astrophysics team at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
