Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor Billy Crudup (The Morning Show) delivers an acting “masterclass” (New York Theatre Guide) in the West End transfer of David Cale’s wickedly funny thriller HARRY CLARKE – direct from sell-out runs in New York and Berkeley.

Harry Clarke has a secret. Well, Philip Brugglestein has a secret – but people only have eyes
for seductive Londoner Harry…

Conjuring comparisons with The Talented Mr. Ripley and Saltburn, HARRY CLARKE keeps audiences guessing – charting the exploits of an awkward Midwestern man who moves to New York City to charm his way into a wealthy family.

Directed by Leigh Silverman (Suffs, Violet, Soft Power, In the Wake), do not miss this “riveting performance” (The Telegraph) about one man’s thrilling double life. Book tickets now – must end 11 May.
