After two sell-out runs in London, Rona Munro's adaptation of Elizabeth Strout's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, My Name is Lucy Barton, is on Broadway! Four-time Tony nominee Laura Linney reprises her critically acclaimed turn as the titular character with Richard Eyre directing the one-woman play which also features design by Bob Crowley.

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.
