HIGH NOON is Now Available for Worldwide Licensing Through TRW
The play transfers directly from its West End run to worldwide availability through Theatrical Rights Worldwide.
Theatrical Rights Worldwide has announced that HIGH NOON, a gripping new stage adaptation of the four-time Academy Award-winning 1952 film from Academy Award-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune), is now available for licensing worldwide after a celebrated West End run. TRW will offer this stage adaptation of the legendary Western to theatre organizations across the globe.
Set in the New Mexico Territory in 1875, HIGH NOON unfolds in real time on the wedding day of Marshal Will Kane and Quaker pacifist Amy Fowler. Their celebration is shattered by news that Frank Miller—the outlaw Kane put away for murder—has been pardoned and is arriving on the noon train, bent on revenge. As the clock ticks toward noon, Kane desperately seeks help from the townspeople he's protected for seventeen years, but one by one they abandon him. Torn between duty and his new wife's beliefs, Kane must face his reckoning alone.
High Noon recently ran in the West End, starring Billy Crudup, Denise Gough, and more. Read the reviews for High Noon here and check out photos here.
