Overview
'I'm a dying man who can't die.' Thomas Newton came to Earth seeking
water for his drought-ridden planet. Years later he's still stranded
here, soaked in cheap gin and haunted by a past love. But the arrival of
another lost soul brings one last chance of freedom...Inspired by the
book The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis and its cult film
adaptation starring David Bowie, Lazarus brings the story of Thomas
Newton to its devastating conclusion. Written by Bowie with the
playwright Enda Walsh, and incorporating some of Bowie's most iconic
songs, Lazarus was first performed at New York Theatre Workshop in 2015,
starring Michael C. Hall and directed by Ivo Van Hove. The production
transferred to London in 2016.
