Happy Valley star James Norton has spoken about rehearsals for A Little Life, which starts performances at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 25 March 2023, and is now booking for a 5 week extension at the Savoy Theatre from 4 July to 5 August 2023. Norton discussed on Radio 4's Today programme (Friday 10 March 2023) that the cast are working with an intimacy coordinator on Ivo van Hove's production of the play, which is adapted from Hanya Yanagihara’s acclaimed novel. Norton told the BBC that, "I feel very looked after. We have therapists and they’ve really gone through amazing safeguards to make sure we’re all looked after, because there are no punches pulled in this production. We do have to go to places that are quite disturbing, but I do feel very supported and able to do it.” In terms of working with an intimacy coordinator, James said: “Some people will say ‘oh I don’t need them’. But if that intimacy co-ordinator prevents that one actor from experiencing life-changing trauma then of course it justifies the other 99 people who don’t need it. I needed it on this, definitely.” He also talked to the Telegraph about how he will go completely naked on stage for the new play, admitting that he was feeling "exposed" preparing for the scene. "What makes it harder right now is that we're rehearsing, so you're in a very light room – it's like being in your workplace and just getting naked, which is very weird," he said. James went on to say: “There’s still a block when it comes to male nudity, about the penis, and what it looks like, and its size and its shape – and all these things of which we as a culture are still very wary. We’re scared of the penis. Men, I think, we’re far more obsessed with it. I mean, women I’ve asked are like, ‘I don’t care, you know, it’s just a penis, whatever’.” A Little Life stars James Norton alongside Bridgerton's Luke Thompson, It's a Sin's Omari Douglas and The Witcher's Zach Wyatt. The play centres on the heartbreaking story of four college friends in New York City, with Norton playing a brilliant and tortured lawyer who relentlessly self-harms after being subjected to years of sexual abuse.

One of those readers was the visionary Ivo van Hove, and I’m thrilled he’s bringing his interpretation of the book to London next spring, with the most extraordinary cast I could have hoped for. This is a singular production, unlike anything I’ve seen before on stage; I hope audiences will be as transported and astonished as I was.” Ivo van Hove said: “It’s a joy to be returning to the London stage, to a community that has made us feel so welcome, and especially to be bringing Hanya’s incredible novel A Little Life to the stage in the English language for the first time – quite genuinely a dream come true.

We have both been fans and huge admirers of Hanya's A Little Life from our first reading of it seven years ago, and to be able to spend time with the iconic characters of Jude, Willem, JB, and Malcolm again has been remarkable. It will be incredible to see them come to life before our eyes on stage played by the finest actors of a generation. We can't wait to share Ivo's thrilling adaptation of this story about heroic acts of friendship to audiences, whether they are new to the story or longtime fans. Ivo van Hove and Hanya Yanagihara are both artistic titans and we can't wait to share their collaboration with London audiences.” Ahead of its West End run, the play will visit Richmond Theatre from 14 to 18 March 2023.
