Mancunian playwright Ian Townsend’s award-winning stage play to be adapted for a full-cast audio drama. All The Bens tells the story of Ben (Nathaniel Hall), a young gay man who – unemployed, skint and lonely – is in danger of drifting into depression.
His life changes when he has a one night stand with Al (Jack Bence), a handsome and charming man who is confused about his sexuality.
Completing the cast is Finn Walters as Ben’s brother Henry who, through his autism, is able to offer a unique view of the world.
Other minor characters will be voiced by Joanne Dakin, Sam Thompson and Chris Jack. The play was first performed at Manchester’s 24:7 festival in 2012 and has won a Manchester Theatre Award.
