One of London’s smartest districts, it’s thought that Piccadilly acquired its name from a landowner who made his fortune manufacturing piccadills, a kind of intricately worked lace collar fashionable in the 16th and 17th centuries. Piccadilly divides the equally elegant St James and Mayfair.

In the 19th century and early 20th century, many mansions were built for wealthy families in the area. The Royal Academy, numerous learned societies, luxury grocer Fortnum & Mason, and the Ritz Hotel all...

Four college friends move to New York City, but what happens when past mysteries and alluring relationships change their world? Ivo van Hove directs an all-star cast in the stage adaptation of Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life at the Savoy Theatre. Get *A Little Life* tickets on London Theatre.

How do you transform a novel into a piece of theatre? Call on Ivo van Hove. The Belgian director previously helmed a *Brokeback Mountain* opera, *Network* starring Bryan Cranston, and *All About Eve* with Gillian Anderson. Van Hove brings his avant-garde vision to a highly lauded text, and the end result is sensational.

The *A Little Life* play premiered at Toneelgroep Amsterdam in 2018. The original play features Dutch-speaking characters, with English subtitles. However, the West End production is an all-English adaptation. Regardless of the language, *A Little Life* on stage adds depth to the complex and multi-layered characters. Once you’ve met them, you’ll never want to say goodbye.

## What to Watch For: 

- Hanya Yanagihara’s 2015 novel is her most successful to date, winningthe Kirkus Prize for Fiction.
- She’s not a one-trick pony though, as she’s also published *The People in the Trees* and *To Paradise*.
- In a 2019 survey conducted by The Guardian, *A Little Life* placed in the top 100 books of the 21st century.
- The Olivier-nominated actor Zubin Varla stars. He’s previously appeared in *Fun Home* and *Tammy Faye.*

“It’s not worth making art at all if the only thing you want is for everyone to like it,” a program note from author Hanya Yanagihara reads in the program for *A Little Life*, the almost-four-hour emotional marathon of a show based on her best-selling novel, playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre. However, love it or hate it, no one will forget *A Little Life*, and that’s what makes a great theatrical experience.

Just like with her widely acclaimed book, the show will also have its critics, and even the diehard fans (of which there are many) will have to come to terms with their connection to the material, which largely centers on graphic sexual trauma, self-harm, and child abuse. 

It’s not an easy show to recommend, because it’s not an easy show to watch, as master director Ivo van Hove has taken the seemingly neverending climactic moments of the over 700-page book and translated them into a series of connected vignettes, each subsequently more difficult to witness than the last, mimicking Yanagihara’s semi-nonlinear timeline which deals in character studies and flashbacks. 

Van Hove has conceived the production, alongside Yanagihara and co-adaptor Koen Tachelet, with fervent loyalty to the story about four college friends who find their New York City lives veering off in different directions as they mine the depths of their friend Jude’s unknowable past. While the book has pages to breathe between critical scenes, van Hove’s production paces quickly through the crucial moments, giving less time to develop character relationships and intimacies and focusing squarely on the underlying trauma of it all. 

Some passages are lifted verbatim from the novel, an effective device, particularly as monologues. The newly minted Olivier winner Zubin Varla is compelling in these moments as Harold, Jude’s professor-turned-father, and brings Yanagihara’s text about parenthood and love to soaring life. These character explorations and reflections are where the production reaches out and grabs the audience by the heart and doesn’t let go. 

The tight-knit ensemble, led by the captivating James Norton, keeps the audience engaged as the unthinkable events unfold. Norton has the hardest job among them, anchoring the story as Jude St. Francis, an abandoned orphan whose trauma-filled past still haunts him as he navigates an outwardly successful adulthood. Norton’s performance threads the needle between Jude’s joy and sorrow, and he pours himself into the immensely physical and psychological aspects of the role, giving his absolute all to the performance.  

Luke Thompson plays the beating heart of the piece: Jude’s best friend and confidant Willem. Thompson must usher the character from apathetic party boy to deeply intellectual and empathetic partner, and he is present and rooted in the show’s message of love throughout. 

Omari Douglas is doing some career-best work as JB, the tortured artist whose ego inhibits him at times, while Zach Thompson rounds out the foursome in the small-yet-memorable role, the architect Malcom. Elliot Cowan finds a way to weave charisma with horror in the difficult assignment of playing a trifecta of Jude’s abusers, and Emilio Doorgasingh brings a deep heart to Jude’s loyal doctor Andy. 

One of the van Hove’s main interpretations of the novel is in how he incorporates Ana, the social worker who guides Jude in a time of crisis. Ana comes in and goes from Jude’s life very quickly, but in the production, she serves as a sort of narrator and empathetic guide for Jude and the audience through the difficult moments. Nathalie Armin’s performance augments the poetic role. 

The entire production feels immersive throughout the space with audience members sitting onstage, Jan Versweyveld’s moody lighting and looming video projections of NYC streets, and Eric Sleichim’s haunting sound design and score, played by a quartet of talented string players. 

However, what comes out of *A Little Life* is not the excessive trauma and graphic abuse, but rather, how amid these terrors, the characters remain steadfast in their dedication to one another, searching for common ground and belonging even while struggling with trust and intimacy. Their friendship at all costs grounds the story and the experience. We should all be so lucky to find their loyalty and love. 

*A Little Life is playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre through 18 June before moving to the Savoy Theatre on 4 July through 5 August.

‘A Little Life’ West End review - An emotional, unforgettable show

A Little Life - Harold Pinter - LON

A Little Life - Harold Pinter Theatre

Read our four-star review of Ivo van Hove’s crushing and poignant adaptation of Hanya Yanagihara’s best-selling novel, starring James Norton and Luke Thompson. 

Born in London in 1985, James Norton is a BAFTA-nominated actor, best known for television shows such as *Happy Valley* and *Grantchester*. Norton will star in the West End premiere of [*A Little Life*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/27090-a-little-life) at the [Harold Pinter Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/harold-pinter-theatre) in spring 2023. 

While Norton studied at the University of Cambridge, he took part in many theatre productions. He notably played Posthumus in a Trevor Nunn-directed production of *Cymbeline* for The Marlowe Society. Notable alumni include Stephen Fry, Ian McKellen, Tom Hiddleston, and Emma Corrin. Following his theology degree, Norton then enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. 

In 2010, Norton made his London debut in Laura Wade’s *Posh* at the Royal Court, playing the role of Miles Richards. He then played Henry in *That Face* at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre.

The following year, Norton played Captain Stanhope in R. C. Sheriff's World War One play, *Journey’s End*. After a three-month long UK tour, *Journey's End* took over the Duke of York’s Theatre in summer 2011. Shortly after, he reunited with Trevor Nunn for *The Lion in Winter* at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Norton also played Zack in *Belleville* at the Donmar Warehouse in 2017. 

In recent years, he’s best known for his television roles. He played villain Tommy Lee Royce in *Happy Valley*, picking up a BAFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Reversely, he then played a crime solving vicar for four series of *Grantchester* on ITV. In 2018, Norton played Alex Godman, the son of a Russian mafia boss escaping a life of organised crime, in *McMafia*.

In 2023, Norton will play Jude in the stage adaptation of Hanya Yanagihara's *A Little Life*. Ivo van Hove directs Norton, as well as Luke Thompson, Omari Douglas, and Zach Wyatt.

Born in Southampton in 1988, Luke Thompson is best known for playing Benedict Bridgerton in the *Bridgerton* television series. The West End actor will star in *A Little Life* at the [Harold Pinter Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/harold-pinter-theatre).

After growing up in France, Thompson took a year out of education to train with the Year Out Drama Company. The Stratford-upon-Avon-based group focus on creating ensemble work.

After a year training, Thompson then attended the University of Bristol, graduating with an English and Drama degree. He then graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2013, studying alongside classmate [Jessie Buckley](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/stars-on-stage/jessie-buckley).

Thompson made his London debut in *A Midsummer Night’s Dream* at Shakespeare’s Globe and quickly made an impression in the world — he earned an Evening Standard Award nomination for Best Newcomer. The same year, he also starred in *Blue Stockings* at the same theatre.

His affinity to Shakespeare's Globe continued: he played Mark Antony in *Julius Caesar* in 2014, and Ithocles in *The Broken Heart* at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in 2015. 

The Almeida Theatre became Thompson's next London theatre: he starred as Orestes in Robert Icke's *Oresteia* in 2015 and as Laertes in the Andrew Scott-led *Hamlet* in 2017. For the latter, he eventually reprised the role in the West End transfer.

He continued the Shakespeare trend by playing Edgar in the Ian McKellen-led *King Lear* at the Duke of York’s Theatre in 2018. Coincidentally, his *Bridgerton* co-star, [Jonathan Bailey](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/stars-on-stage/jonathan-bailey), played Edgar at Chichester Festival Theatre that same year. Talk about brotherly love!

Away from the stage, Thompson is best known for playing Benedict, the second eldest Bridgerton sibling, in the *Bridgerton* Netflix series. Many [West End actors feature in *Bridgerton*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/bridgerton-stars-who-got-their-start-in-west-end-theatre), including Golda Rosheuvel, Nicola Coughlan, and Regé-Jean Page.

The Savoy Theatre opened on 21 Oct. 1929. The building was known for being the first public building to be lit entirely by electricity. 

When a fire ravaged the theatre in 1990, destroying the interior, it was meticulously restored by Sir William Whitfield to the original 1929 designs. The theatre reopened on 19 Jul. 1993.

The D’Oyly Carte Opera Company played several seasons at the theatre over the past 20 years, their last production being *HMS Pinafore* in 2003. 

The theatre has also housed several musicals, including *She Loves Me* in 1994 starring John Gordon Sinclair and Ruthie Henshall, and has played host to musicals exclusively since 2006. 

## Savoy Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels - Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle.

In the Stalls, the legroom throughout is very good, and the seating is well raked to ensure good views.

In the Dress Circle, the overhang of the Grand Circle affects the view from Row K onwards. The amount of legroom also decreases the further back you sit.

The Grand Circle feels rather far from the stage.
