Jordan has been cast as Marc Christian in the rehearsed reading of Playing Rock Hudson by Cameron Lukey for 2013 Midsumma’s Playing-in-The-Raw.

“Hudson was not an educated man, but that very beautiful body of his was putty in my hands.”

PLAYING ROCK HUDSON
By Cameron Lukey, directed by Ben Steel
featuring Jordan Armstrong, Christopher Pender, Michelle Brooks, Shane Savage, Jonathan Dyer, Kieran McShane, David Morris, Andrew Murrell, Chris Gaffney + Jeremy Kewley

One of America’s most popular movie stars throughout the 50s + 60s, Hudson’s death in 1985, a year after having been diagnosed with AIDS, made headlines the world over. He had been the first public figure to succumb to the disease + his death inspired a movement – led by friend Elizabeth Taylor – that helped shine a light on the emerging epidemic. Three years later, Hudson’s former lover Marc Christian sued the actor’s estate on the grounds of reckless endangerment, claiming that Hudson had put his life at risk by withholding the true nature of his disease for the last year of their relationship. But was Christian really the love of Hudson’s life or was he a blackmailing hustler out to play Rock Hudson for all he was worth?
