Written by David Bowie and Enda Walsh, the stage musical Lazarus has been called ‘A surrealistic tour de force’. Inspired by the book The Man Who Fell To Earth by Walter Tevis, the show received widespread critical acclaim and played to sold-out audiences throughout an extended run in New York. Join lead Michael C Hall alongside producer Robert Fox for a discussion of the creative process that gave birth to this unique show, and the challenges of bringing Lazarus to life in both New York and now London.

 

* Today’s lyric quotation is from the 1967 Bowie song Join The Gang. The original suggested it was Arthur who needed ‘Dutch courage’ before appearing in front of his audience. However, we are alluding to TJ Newton’s fondness for gin, and this is in no way a suggestion that Michael C Hall needs a similar stiffener to ‘get in character’.
