For the first time, one of the most iconic Westerns in cinema history is reimagined for the stage. High Noon makes its world premiere in the West End in a trailblazing new adaptation by Oscar Award-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune) and directed by Olivier Award-winner Thea Sharrock (After the Dance). Book High Noon tickets on London Theatre.
High Noon is a play told in real time. It's a thriller that unfolds over a countdown, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. Marshal Will Kane is newly married to the beautiful Amy Fowler, and they're ready to leave the town behind. That is, of course, until Kane learns that Frank Miller, a deadly outlaw he previously sent to prison, is arriving on the noon train. As the clock ticks away, Kane faces an impossible choice: walk away with the woman he loves, or stand alone for a violent reckoning.
Set in New Mexico Territory in the 1800's, High Noon explores themes that remain contemporary: bravery in the face of fear, justice, and duty. What was once a powerful allegory of Hollywood's blacklist, this story resonates now as an examination of what happens when communities run from responsibility, and how standing your ground comes at a great cost.
High Noon in London stars Tony and Emmy Award-winning Billy Crudup (The Morning Show, Harry Clarke) alongside Olivier Award-winner Denise Gough (People, Places & Things). It also boasts a formidable creative team, including director Thea Sharrock, set and costume design by Tim Hatley, lighting design by Neil Austin, music by Chris Egan, and sound design by Nick Lidster.
This limited West End premiere brings a rare intensity to the stage and is sure to be a performance audiences will not soon forget.
