Here’s Billy Crudup and Denise Gough starring in High Noon, the world premiere of the stage adaptation of the iconic 1952 film now playing at Harold Pinter Theatre until March 6, 2026.
Crudup is Will Kane and Gough plays Amy Fowler, with the cast also comprising Billy Howle, Rosa Salazar, Simon Chandler, James Doherty, Misha Handley, Joshua Hill, Jonah Russell, Rebecca Lee and Tim Steed.
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. The clock is ticking. As time runs out, one truth remains: if you don’t stand up for what’s worth saving, you risk losing it all.
High Noon is directed by Thea Sharrock and written by Eric Roth from the film screenplay by Carl Foreman.
The creative team includes set and costume design by Tim Hatley, lighting design by Neil Austin, music by Chris Egan and sound design by Nick Lidster. The choreographer and movement director is Lizzi Gee, the fight director is Kate Waters, the casting director is Jina Jay and and the general managers are Short Street Productions. The executive producer is Mark Rubinstein.
High Noon is produced by Paula Wagner and Tom Werner, also Thomas Tull.
