HIGH NOON

​

​​​​​​​​​HIGH NOON is written for the stage by Academy Award winner Eric Roth. Based on Stanley Kramer’s trailblazing 1952 Academy Award-wining film.

 

HIGH NOON is considered one of the most influential films of its time, credited for not only advancing the Western genre as a whole, but also the roles and portrayal of women. Turner Classic Movies recently celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the beloved film starring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly, which received seven Academy Awards for Best Actor, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Score and Best Song, Best Screenplay and Best Picture as well as four Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Score and Best Black and White Cinematography.

 

HIGH NOON was selected by the Library of Congress in 1989 to be preserved in the National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” The film’s influence has resurfaced throughout the years in not only Western films, but across genres where filmmakers have recreated or borrowed from the quintessential story.

 

HIGH NOON will become the first Western play to premiere on Broadway in over 85 years. Exact dates, additional design team, casting and theatre will be announced at a later date.​​
