With a screenplay by Carl Foreman, High Noon was originally produced by Stanley Kramer and directed by Fred Zinnemann. Hailed as one of the greatest Westerns ever made and set in the 1800s, the bond between Will Kane and Amy Fowler is at its heart. As the clock ticks down to the return of deadly outlaw Frank Miller on the high noon train, what will unfold is an epic battle between the pair.

High Noon is directed by Olivier Award-winner Thea Sharrock (The Bodyguard) and written by Academy Award-winner and six-time nominee Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), making his debut work for the stage, with set and costume design by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Tim Hatley (Back to the Future The Musical), lighting design by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Neil Austin (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), 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 CDG and the general managers are Short Street Productions Ltd. The executive producer is Mark Rubinstein.

High Noon will play at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 17 December to 6 March 2026.
