Booking to 12 May 2018
Harold and Maude at the Charing Cross Theatre
Thom Southerland directs Linda Marlow and Patrick Walshe McBride in Colin Higgins’ romantic black comedy drama at the Charing Cross Theatre.
Equal parts dark comedy and romantic innocence, Harold and Maude dissolves the line between darkness and light along with ones that separate people by class, gender and age.
Harold and Maude will run from 19 February 2018 until 12 May 2018 at Charing Cross Theatre.
STORY
Harold and Maude is an idiosyncratic fable told though the eyes of the most unlikely pairing: a compulsive, self-destructive young man who attends funerals for entertainment and a devil-may-care, septuagenarian bohemian.
Through Colin Higgins’ tale, we experience a way of seeing the world that looks directly into darkness, stresses our need for humour, the freedom to create, and kindness, while concluding that cynicism and despair are dead ends.
CAST
Linda Marlowe will play Maude alongside Patrick Walshe McBride as Harold.
The cast also includes: Anthony Cable, Rebecca Caine, Christopher Dickins, Joanna Hickman (Ragtime, Charing Cross Theatre), Samuel Townsend, Anne White and Johnson Willis.
CREATIVE TEAM
Thom Southerland directs with set design by Francis O’Connor, costumes by Jonathan Lipman, lighting by Matt Clutterham, sound design from Andrew Johnson and compositions by Michael Bruce.
