Review: THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY, Theatre Royal Haymarket
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Feb 11, 2026

First seen in Chichester last summer, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry now makes its joyful arrival into London. Based on the 2012 novel by Rachel Joyce which became a 2023 film, the show is a musical that cleverly acts as a snapshot of modern Britain and a study into the complexities and darkness of grief and sadness within a marriage.

by Aliya Al-Hassan - Nov 22, 2023

'We're not women, we're hell' is not a line you would expect at a family show, but Lyndsey Turner's production combines exuberant fun, quick-witted comedy and a positive attitude towards death to produce an entralling, clever and incredibly funny production.
