Josh Butler on playing Noel in Ride The Cyclone at Southwark Playhouse

I chat with actor Josh Butler about his role as Noel Gruber in Ride The Cyclone at Southwark Playhouse, a darkly comic and deeply moving musical about six teenagers suspended in limbo. We explore what drew him to the show, how his own queer identity shapes his performance, and the importance of authentic representation in theatre.

See Ride The Cyclone at Southwark Playhouse Elephant from 19th June to 22nd August 2026: https://southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/productions/ride-the-cyclone/
