Billy Crudup is to make his West End theatre debut portraying 19 characters in a solo show about a charismatic American trickster posing as a Londoner.
Written by David Cale, the one-man play Harry Clarke was first performed by Crudup off-Broadway in 2017. It follows a midwestern barista who beguiles a wealthy New York family while pretending to be a British representative of the singer Sade. “It’s part charm show, it’s part thrill ride, and then it’s a claustrophobic attack in the style of film noir,” Crudup told the San Jose News when he reprised the part at Berkeley Repertory theatre last year.
