Rehearsal images have been unveiled for the world premiere of High Noon, a gripping new stage adaptation of the iconic 1952 Western. The production stars Emmy and Tony Award-winner Billy Crudup as Will Kane and Olivier Award-winner Denise Gough as Amy Fowler.
The cast also includes Billy Howle, Rosa Salazar, Simon Chandler, James Doherty, Misha Handley, Joshua Hill, Jonah Russell, Rebecca Lee and Tim Steed.
Playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre for a strictly limited season from 17 December 2025 to 6 March 2026, High Noon promises an edge-of-your-seat experience. Written by Academy Award-winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune) and directed by Olivier Award-winner Thea Sharrock (The Bodyguard, Equus), this marks Roth’s debut work for the stage.
Set in the American West of the 1800s, the play explores themes of courage versus cowardice, justice versus peace, and duty versus 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.
The creative team includes set and costume design by Tim Hatley, lighting by Neil Austin, music by Chris Egan, and sound design by Nick Lidster. Lizzi Gee serves as choreographer and movement director, with fight direction by Kate Waters.
Producers Paula Wagner, Tom Werner and Thomas Tull lead the production, with general management by Short Street Productions Ltd and executive producer Mark Rubinstein.
