High Noon

  • 1hr 40mins (no interval)
play

From Oscar Award-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump) and Olivier Award-winning Director Thea Sharrock (Equus) comes the world premiere of the play, HIGH NOON at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

Based on the iconic, four-time Oscar-winning 1952 film with an original screenplay by Carl Foreman – hailed as one of the greatest westerns ever made. This isn’t just a play. It’s a wake-up call.

HIGH NOON rides on themes as relevant now as they were then. Courage vs. Cowardice. Justice vs. Peace. Duty vs. Desire. And at its heart, is the bond between Will Kane* and Amy Fowler – a love tested by impossible choices as the clock ticks down to the return of deadly outlaw Frank Miller on the high noon train.

As time runs out, one truth remains: if you don’t stand up for what’s worth saving, you risk losing it all.

Told in real time, this edge-of your- seat thriller stars Tony and Emmy Award-winner Billy Crudup (The Morning Show, The Coast of Utopia) and Olivier Award winner Denise Gough (Andor, People, Places & Things) with design by Tony and Olivier Awardwinner Tim Hatley (Back to the Future: The Musical, The Life of Pi), lighting by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Neil Austin (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Born With Teeth) and music composed and produced by Chris Egan.
