What is The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry about?

Harold Fry is an ordinary man living an ordinary life until he receives a letter from an old friend who's dying in hospice and wants to say goodbye. On a whim, he decides to make the six hundred mile journey from Kingsbridge to Berwick-Upon-Tweed to say goodbye to her… on foot. Along the way he encounters eccentric strangers, unexpected kindness, and confronts memories of a long-buried past. Meanwhile, back home, his wife Maureen goes on her own journey, one that might mend the rift in their marriage.

Adapted by Rachel Joyce from her beloved and best-selling novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a deeply profound, uplifting musical, simultaneously tragic and funny, full of questions about humanity, redemption, and second chances. Katy Rudd (Ballet Shoes, The Ocean at the End of the Lane) directs Mark Addy, (The Full Monty, The Rig, Game of Thrones) as Harold and Jenna Russell, (Sunday in the Park with George, Hello, Dolly) as Maureen, while chart-topping indie musician Passenger provides a powerful, joyful score.

Fresh off a sold-out run at Chichester Festival Theatre, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry arrives in London for its West End premiere. Don't miss the chance to catch this powerful, moving testament to the human condition that reminds us that it's never too late to start over.

Swirling and compelling must see!

Fantastic direction of movement, music and use of the stage, scene transformations are rapid, inventive and many, perfect cast, all songs are easy on the ears, many wonderful uplifting; none too long. Excellent balance between story progression, humour, song and emotional depth. We all had a great time (2 parents with a teenage son, which made the finale all the more touching).

Fantastic experience

From the moment the first person opened their mouth to sing I knew I was going to love it. The brilliant singing and acting, versatility, cleverness of stage props and direction was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations and the whole experience was just wonderful. We gave them a standing ovation.
