David Cale
Tony Award-winning actor Billy Crudup shines as Harry Clarke, a shy Midwesterner leading an outrageous double life as a cocky Londoner.
Moving to New York City and presenting himself as an Englishman, Harry charms his way into a wealthy family's life, leading an outrageous double life. As the seductive and clever Harry, his increasingly reckless behavior threatens to undo more than his persona. David Cale’s nuanced storytelling and Crudup’s magnetic performance combine, making Harry Clarke a sexually charged and wickedly funny thriller. The New York Times hailed Crudup’s performance in “a sly role terrifically suited to his gifts” while praising Cale’s story as a delicious conceit.
This Audible Theater production also features a special performance of Cale’s Obie Award-winning, one-man show Lillian, starring the playwright himself in a typical tale of romance told through the eyes of a proper, middle-aged Englishwoman.
©2017 David Cale (P)2017 AO Media LLCBilly Crudup, boş bir sahnede bir saat yirmi dakika süren kesintisiz bir monolog sunuyor; Philip, Harry ve genç-yaşlı, eşcinsel-heteroseksüel, erkek-kadın birçok farklı karakteri canlandırıyor. Bu, coşku, incelik ve olağanüstü bir özgünlükle sergilenen, sizi ayakta alkışlatan vahşi bir gösteri.

Eleştirmen yorumları
"One of the meta-delights of Harry Clarke is the way it applies the idea of performance to regular life. As Harry proves, we're all actors, working with whatever rickety materials we've got. If only we were all as good at impersonation as he and Mr. Crudup are, we might even be happy." (The New York Times)
"David Cale is a mischievous, deft and engaging storyteller." (Variety)
“Lillian is a luminous embodiment of the ineffable in life, a reminder that even the most mundane existence is shaped by currents beyond comprehension.” (The New York Times)
Harry Clarke, 75 minutes
David Cale, a British born playwright originally wrote Harry Clarke to perform himself, though for the New York stage production Billy Crudup plays the titular role. Harry Clarke is the alter-ego of an American man, Philip Brugglestein, who believes that he feels more comfortable with an English accent. The character has a certain resemblance to Patricia Highsmith’s ‘Tom Ripley’ [The talented Mr Ripley].
The problem is with the strong opening statement “I could always do an immaculate English accent”. For an American audience Billy's impersonation is probably quite authentic, though for an English ear it sounds a bit odd - have a listen to the sample. For the first 10 minutes I was really not sure, but if you forgive him his questionable accent he does a mighty fine job in bringing the story to life.
Lillian, 62 minutes including short introduction
Lillian, a female role, is performed by the writer himself. I'm really not sure whether this is totally brilliant, due to its insanity, or just a bit odd. Never heard anything like it before, but the more I listened, the more it grew on me. Though am still conflicted whether it would have improved the recording by having a woman playing the part. It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you enjoy monologues/ experimental theatre give it a try.
Plus behind the scenes interviews, 55 minutes

Aside from that, the story touches on being interesting, but never dips into being unforgettable. I haven't yet listened to the "bonus performance," and I hope it's better.
Not very good

The characters are vivid and utterly compelling, the writing is surprising, funny and thrilling and I couldn’t get enough of it and had to listen to both again immediately afterwards.
The performance of Harry Clark by Crudup is a feast of vulnerability and brutality; a twisting, churning and painful joy. Afterwards I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t stop thinking about the character underneath it all…
It is true that for many people the audio book perhaps isn’t the perfect way to enjoy these David Cale plays - I also really wished I’d seen them both at the theatre - but this is the next best thing and I am so glad they recorded it for those of us who couldn’t have seen it at the theatre - I got completely lost in the characters and the storytelling - more quality performances like this please!
A compelling ride - stick with it and get lost in the story!
