High Noon
The countdown is on. From Oscar Award-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune) and Olivier Award-winning Director Thea Sharrock (Equus – West End/Broadway, After the Dance) comes the world premiere of the play, High Noon.
This gripping new adaptation is Roth’s debut work for the stage – based on the iconic, four-time Oscar-winning 1952 film originally produced by Stanley Kramer, directed by Fred Zinnemann, with 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.
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 Award-winner Tim Hatley (Back to the Future: The Musical, The Life of Pi) and lighting by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Neil Austin (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Frozen The Musical).
Once a searing allegory of Hollywood’s blacklist, High Noon now explodes onto the stage in an unmissable new version that speaks urgently to the world today.
Set in the American West of the 1800s, 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.
Tick: Begin a new life together?
Tock: Or take a stand for the greater good?
As time runs out, one truth remains: if you don’t stand up for what’s worth saving, you risk losing it all.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
Playing for a strictly limited run, don’t miss this incredible theatrical event – secure your tickets now before it’s too late. Every second counts.
