Billy Crudup And David Cale Signed Harry Clarke Playbill

Description

When Harry Clarke humblebrags that the singer Sade is “about the most real person I know,” you believe him. If anyone’s an expert on real people, he is. That’s because he’s a fake. Despite his sometimes posh, sometimes cockney accent, he’s not (as he tells people) from London. Nor is he married to a Frenchwoman named Sabine. Most disappointing, he did not work for 20 years as the “tour manager slash personal assistant slash whatever-else-was-needed kind of person” for the woman who sang “Smooth Operator.” No, he’s just Philip Brugglestein, Illinois born and Indiana bred and very good at Google. Never been to London, works as a barista. But what a story he has to tell. That’s the delicious conceit animating “Harry Clarke,” the one-man, double-life play by David Cale. The conceit is also animating Billy Crudup, who after a four-year absence from the New York stage appears to be having the time of his life in a sly role terrifically suited to his gifts. Among those gifts is the ability to build a performance from various angles at once. The play started its production at Vineyard Theater then moved on to the Minetta Lane Theater from March 7, 2018 up to May 13, 2018.
This playbill were signed by Billy Crudup and the playwright-David Cale at the stage door after the play.
