Producers of forthcoming West End premiere High Noon have announced full casting.

High Noon is playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London from 17 December 2025 until 7 March 2026.

The world premiere production of High Noon is adapted from the Oscar-winning 1952 movie by Carl Foreman, and adapted by Oscar winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune).

Olivier Award winner Thea Sharrock (The Bodyguard) directs.

Already announced to star in High Noon are Emmy and Tony Award winner Billy Crudup (The Morning Show) as Will Kane, and Olivier Award winner Denise Gough (People, Places and Things) as Amy Fowler.

They will be joined by Billy Howle (The Perfect Couple, On Chesil Beach) as Harvey Pell; Rosa Salazar (Play Dirty, Maze Runner) as Helen Ramirez; Simon Chandler (Falling) as Howe and Minister; James Doherty (London Road) as Judge, Frank Miller and Gillis; Misha Handley (The Woman in Black) as Johnny; Joshua Hill (Dear England) as Ben Miller, Station Master and Cooper; Jonah Russell (A Raisin in the Sun) as Robert Jones, Scott and JP Pierce; Rebecca Lee (Jerusalem) as Mildred Jones; and Tim Steed (Jack Absolute Flies Again) as Henderson, Clerk and Charlie.

Joining Thea Sharrock in the creative team is design by Tony and Olivier Award winner Tim Hatley (Back to the Future, Life of Pi) and lighting by Tony and Olivier Award winner Neil Austin (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Frozen The Musical).

The production is produced in the West End by Paula Wagner and Tom Werner, alongside Thomas Tull, Danny Cohen and Len Blavatnik.

High Noon is hailed as one of the greatest westerns ever made, and starred Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly.

The stage adaptation unfolds in real time over the course of its two-hour running time, similar to the movie, and is set in the American West of the 1800s.

High Noon is centred on the bond between Will Kane (Billy Crudup) and Amy Fowler (Denise Gough) – a love tested by impossible choices as the clock ticks down to the return of deadly outlaw Frank Miller (James Doherty) on the high noon train.

Joining Thea Sharrock in the creative team are: Set and costume design by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Tim Hatley (Life of Pi), lighting design by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Neil Austin (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), music by Chris Egan, sound design by Nick Lidster, choreography and movement director Lizzi Gee, fight director Kate Waters, casting director Jina Jay CDG and the general managers are Short Street Productions Ltd. The executive producer is Mark Rubinstein.

High Noon is playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 17 December 2025 until 7 March 2026.
