Harry Clarke

Reviewed: December 6, 2017

Harry Clarke is playing at the Vineyard Theatre located at 108 East 15th Street. It runs one hour fifteen minutes with no intermission. The play closes on December 17, 2017.

Leigh Silverman is the director. He was nominated for a Tony Award for Violet (2014) and a Drama Desk Award for From Up Here (2008).

Billy Crudup was nominated for three Tony Awards for Arcadia (2011), The Pillow Man (2005) and The Elephant Man (2002) and won a Tony Award for The Coast of Utopia (2007).

Alexander Doge is the scenic designer. He was nominated for a Tony Award for A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love and Murder in 2010.

Harry Clarke grew up in Idaho. He is not comfortable as himself. When he puts on an English accent he becomes very confident. Harry moves to New York City after his parents die. When he meets people he is from London.

On a whim he decides to follow someone. He learns some things about this person. By chance they meet; he uses the information he heard when he followed him to make it seem like they have formerly met.

They become friends. His new friend is wealthy. Harry gets to meets his whole family.

Billy plays all of the seven characters. We learn about him and the people in his life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful play.

Billy did not miss a beat from one character to another. He did an amazing job.

This one act play will hold your attention from the beginning to end.
