What is High Noon about?

Fred Zinnemann's 1952 classic Western plays with and deconstructs many of the tropes of the genre. Set in the American West in the 1800s, High Noon follows town marshall Will Kane, who is planning on retiring and spending his days with his new bride Amy Fowler. But Will's old enemy, the dangerous outlaw Frank Miller, is returning to town on the high noon train to seek his revenge for his incarceration. The townsfolk refuse to stand with Will. Amy wants him to flee. But Will is determined to fight Miller, even if he has to do it alone.

Universally hailed as one of the greatest Westerns ever made, written as a searing allegory of Hollywood's blacklist, High Noon feels just as urgently resonant today as it did seventy years ago. Now Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune) and Olivier Award-winning director Thea Sharrock (Equus, After the Dance) bring this iconic film to the stage. An epic story about justice, duty, and courage, and the impossible choices we make to fight for what's most important, this thrilling play stars Billy Crudup (The Morning Show, The Coast of Utopia) and Denise Gough (Andor, People, Places, & Things) as Will and Amy. Producer Paula Wagner said, ‘High Noon will bring the urgency and heart of the classic film to audiences in a way that feels both timeless and powerfully alive today.'
