Rachel Joyce and Passenger’s new musical, directed by Katy Rudd, has arrived at Theatre Royal Haymarket
8 / 10
Rudd’s direction leans into the whimsy of the road while never shying away from the fear that haunts Harold’s footsteps. The way the ensemble shifts from being the wind in the trees to the judgmental men in a café is perfect. There’s also comedy there too – a number involving dancing car wash is excellent, while there’s some perfectly pitched contributions from lighting designer Paule Constable and video designer Ash J Woodward.
