By: BWW News Desk Nov. 09, 2017
The Tailor-Made Man, by Claudio Macor, directed by Bryan Hodgson, will run at the White Bear Theatre, 138 Kennington Park Road, London, SE11 from Tuesday 7 November to Saturday 25 November. Press night is tonight, November 9 at 7.30pm, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
The cast includes Mitchell Hunt (Mr Selfridge, Hollyoaks) as William "Billy" Haines and Tom Berkeley as Jimmie Shields.
The Tailor-Made Man, the powerful true story about the Hollywood studio system and its hypocrisy and the star who gave up everything for the man he loved, is getting a 25th anniversary production in London.
William "Billy" Haines was a popular silent screen MGM movie star who was fired by Louis B Mayer because he was gay and refused to give up his lifelong partner, Jimmie Shields, and marry the silent screen vamp Pola Negri. As punishment, his films were removed from release and sealed in the MGM vaults never to be seen again, and his studio photographs destroyed. It was an attempt to erase him completely from movie history. But Billy and Jimmy's turbulent, passionate love affair was to survive and lasted over 50 years...this is their story.
The Tailor-Made Man is produced by Eastlake Productions. For tickets and more information, visit www.whitebeartheatre.co.uk.
