Hanya Yanagihara’s bestselling book A Little Life is hitting the London stage with an adaptation directed by Ivo Van Hove. The epic story follows four college friends in NYC – aspiring actor Willem (played by Luke Thompson), architect Malcom (played by Zach Wyatt), struggling artist JB (played by Omari Douglas) and lawyer Jude (played by James Norton) – as they navigate ambition, addiction, pride and the mysteries and secrets of Jude’s past. The book is beloved by people who’ve read it, and it’s a tearjerker too, so this is all set to be one hell of play.
