Harold Fry was not a ‘hero’ in any traditional sense. He was just a typical man living a mundane life when he received a letter from his long-lost friend, Queenie Hennessy, who was in the process of dying in hospice care. Harold sets out to respond, but instead, without any preparation, he just keeps walking. Leaving everything behind, including his wife, Maureen, Harold embarks on an extraordinary journey on foot, convinced that as long as he continues to walk, Queenie will live on.

Along his path, many strangers become friends, and small acts of kindness begin to influence Harold’s understanding of the world. His journey becomes a great pilgrimage of love and sacrifice. Back home, Maureen sets on a journey of her own as she confronts the grief and distances that have shaped their marriage. This incredibly moving West End debut invites audiences to journey alongside Harold, rediscovering the power of compassion and human connection.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a musical directed by Katy Rudd (The Ocean at the End of the Lane), starring Mark Addy (The Full Monty, Game of Thrones) as Harold and Jenna Russell (Sunday in the Park with George, Hello, Dolly!) as Maureen.

With a warm score and storytelling full of humanity, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry in London is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start again, and that sometimes even the smallest steps forward can lead to great change.
