★★★★★ “Billy Crudup is mesmerisingly magnificent” – Express

Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor Billy Crudup (The Morning Show, Almost Famous, Coast of Utopia, No Man’s Land) stars in a tour-de-force solo show, Harry Clarke at The Ambassadors Theatre in London’s West End.

Conjuring comparisons to The Talented Mr. Ripley and Saltburn with a touch of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Harry Clarke keeps audiences guessing as it charts the exploits of an awkward Midwestern man who moves to New York City to charm his way into a wealthy family.

Billy Crudup has “the time of his life in a sly role terrifically suited to his gifts” (The New York Times) in this wickedly funny thriller by award-winning writer David Cale.

Direct from the US, Billy Crudup reprises his acclaimed performance in Harry Clarke for a strictly limited 9-week run at The Ambassadors Theatre from 9 March to 11 May 2024.

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

An awkward Midwestern man heads to New York City to pose as the seductive cocky Londoner Harry Clarke. Charming his way into a wealthy  family, Harry’s impetuous and dangerous behaviour soon threatens to unravel more than his persona.
