Funny, profound, deeply moving and uplifting, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a joyous new musical adapted by Rachel Joyce from her own multi million-selling novel, featuring irresistible modern folk songs by the chart-topping indie musician, Passenger (Let Her Go).
Harold Fry – grey, tired and lonely – receives a letter from an old friend and heads out to post his reply. And keeps walking. From South Devon to Berwick upon Tweed. Leaving his bewildered wife Maureen behind.
Because Harold is trying to make up for lost time, confront the ghosts in his past, and – perhaps – keep someone alive.
As word spreads of his unlikely pilgrimage, a whole company of lost souls join him on his quest. And the horizons for both Harold and Maureen open wider than they could ever have imagined.
Mark Addy, whose innumerable screen credits include The Full Monty, The Rig and Game of Thrones, plays Harold. Jenna Russell, whose award-winning musicals include Sunday in the Park with George and Hello, Dolly!, makes a welcome return to Chichester as Maureen.
Director Katy Rudd (Ballet Shoes, The Ocean at the End of the Lane NT/West End) makes her Chichester debut.
