A LITTLE LIFE extends at Savoy Theatre due to unprecedented demand

Due to record-breaking demand at Richmond Theatre and the Harold Pinter Theatre, it has been announced that Ivo van Hove’s English language première of Hanya Yanagihara’s critically acclaimed prize-winning novel, A Little Life, will now play a further five weeks only at the Savoy Theatre from 4 July.

Van Hove directs James Norton as Jude, Luke Thompson as Willem, Omari Douglas as JB, Zach Wyatt as Malcolm, Elliot Cowan as Brother Luke/Doctor Traylor/Caleb, Zubin Varla as Harold, Nathalie Armin as Ana, and Emilio Doorgasingh as Andy.

The production previews at Richmond Theatre from 14-18 March; ahead of opening in the West End at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 5 April, with previews from 25 March, and runs until 18 June; before transferring to the Savoy Theatre from 4 July-5 August.

Public booking opens for the run at the Savoy Theatre at 10am today (10 March).

Producers Wessex Grove’s Benjamin Lowy and Emily Vaughan-Barratt said today: “We could not be more delighted to have the opportunity to extend A Little Life in the West End this summer. Hanya’s book has had a profound impact on so many people’s lives, and it’s a privilege to witness the way in which the production is being embraced by audiences. We’ve just finished rehearsals, and it’s been extraordinary to watch Ivo and this incredible group of actors discover this story anew on stage. It’s a beautiful piece of theatre, and we’re delighted our company want to continue performing the play together at the iconic theatre that is the Savoy – a real honour for a straight play to perform on that stage.”
