Guy loves John, but John loves Reg. So do Daniel, Benny and Bernie. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s London, My Night with Reg follows a group of gay friends bound by their shared history – and the enigmatic Reg, whose presence lingers in the hearts of all. As they navigate love, lust, and unspoken truths, the characters face shifting friendships, fractured relationships, and the secrets they must confront in a time of crisis.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, My Night with Reg premiered in 1994 at the Royal Court Theatre and later transferred to the West End and was filmed for television.

 Daryl Hurst started loving theatre and performance in local youth theatre groups and studying with the prestigious National Youth Theatre. After completing university, he took a decade-long break from performing, before returning in 2022 and joining the Garden Suburb Theatre. During his time with GST, Daryl has performed in (or worked backstage, or ran tech or directed) ten productions in 3 years. His most memorable show and achievement was playing Tim Conigrave in the critically acclaimed Australian gay comedy, Holding The Man, which was performed at the National Drama Festival Finals in 2024, for which Daryl took home the award for Best Actor (jointly with his real-life and in-show partner). Now, after many years enjoying sitting in the audience and cheering on his friends, Daryl is thrilled to be making his debut on stage with the Tower. |
 Joe Lewis is excited to be back at the Tower after a few years away; previous roles include Ron in Breaking the Code, Benvolio in Romeo & Juliet and Mark Smeaton in Wolf Hall. Joe is currently appearing in The Paddington Bear Experience; other professional credits include prominent roles in Emilia Galotti and the Ibsen plays Lady Inger, The Feast at Solhaug and Olaf. One of Joe’s proudest achievements is a short film he starred in and helped to shape called What a Cure Feels Like with leading diabetes charity Breakthrough T1D, based on his and others’ experiences of living with type 1 diabetes – the film won gold in the People’s Choice category of the Smiley Charity Film Awards. |
