Here's an interview with Layton from EQView about his career so far and his work with the LGBT charity, Stonewall, as role model who visits schools to "tackle homophobic language, talk about stereotypes and work against homophobic bullying at school":

Layton also shows off some very snazzy duds in this photoshoot:

More about The Car Man:
THE CAR MAN is loosely based on Bizet’s popular opera (CARMEN) and has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertory, brilliantly arranged by Terry Davies. The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy garage-diner in 1960’s America where the dreams and passions of a small-town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge. - See more at: http://new-adventures.net/the-car-man/a ... TrTvP.dpuf
http://new-adventures.net/the-car-man/about

As I have noted in his thread, Liam Mower will also be in this production, sharing the role of Angelo with Dominic North, his fellow Edward in Edward Scissorhands.
