About

Take your students to the world premiere of High Noon – an unmissable new stage adaptation from a creative team with 65 global nominations, including 7 Oscars, 7 Golden Globes, 13 BAFTAs, 15 Tonys and 26 Oliviers.

History is about to be made as one of cinema’s most legendary stories is brought to life on stage by a powerhouse of world-class talent, led by Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune) and Olivier Award-winning Director Thea Sharrock (Equus – West End/Broadway, After the Dance).

This gripping new production marks Roth’s stage debut, reimagining the iconic, four-time Oscar-winning 1952 classic, originally produced by Stanley Kramer, directed by Fred Zinnemann, with screenplay by Carl Foreman – hailed by The New York Times as “a landmark in American filmmaking”. 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. At its heart lies 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, this world premier theatrical event is not to be missed. Every second counts, secure your reservation now before it’s too late so your students can experience this landmark production from some of the most celebrated artists of our time.
