Harry Clarke
Thomas stars in David Cale's one-man show Harry Clarke at The Warehouse Theatre. Directed by Mark Sutch (Moon for the Misbegotten), Harry Clarke is the story of a shy midwestern man who feels more like himself when he’s adopting the persona of cocky Londoner Harry Clarke. Moving to New York and presenting himself as an Englishman, he charms his way into a wealthy family’s life and romances two family members as the seductive and sexually precocious Harry, with more on his mind than love. With his spellbinding and emotionally nuanced storytelling, playwright David Cale has created a riveting story of a man leading an outrageous double life.

Harry Clarke runs April 28—May 13, 2023.
