The critically acclaimed production returns!
After a sell-out, and critically acclaimed last June, the Richard Eyre helmed production returns to The Bridge Theatre in 2019. Elizabeth Strout's debut short-novel took the world by storm in 2016. With its haunting and dramatic context, and told from the first person narrative, My Name is Lucy Barton lends itself to a perfect one-man show. The Bridge Theatre has adapted this modern day classic into a thrilling, fast-paced stage show starring three-time Academy Award Winner and four-time Tony Nominee, Laura Linney.
Lucy Barton awakes after an operation to find her estranged mother at the bottom of her hospital bed. With memories of her desperate rural childhood and her subsequent escape to New York flooding back to her, Lucy Barton is on the cusp of her writing career but will the complexities of family life still cling onto her?
