Why buy?
Arthur Miller’s ‘The American Clock’ takes us back to America in 1929, just as the Wall Street stock market crashes – reaping havoc nationwide. The plot traces the lives of the Baum family as they attempt to navigate the aftermath of one of the worst financial calamities on record.
Director Rachel Chavkin has been known for some of the boldest theatre hits of the past few years: like the National Theatre’s ‘Hadestown’ and Broadway musical ‘Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812’. In what is set to be a terrific revival, Chavkin will be using a soundtrack fusing jazz and swing with a contemporary sound to help narrate the story of a family in despair, setting their personal struggles in the broader context of a national crisis.
‘The American Clock’ is part of an Arthur Miller double-bill at The Old Vic and stars Clarke Peters (‘The Wire’, ‘Notting Hill’, ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’, ‘Five Guys Named Moe’). Don’t miss this new production – our tickets save you up to 69%.
