The story follows Harold, an unassuming man whose decision to hand-deliver a letter to an old friend becomes an epic trek across England. His journey—spanning Devon to Berwick-upon-Tweed—brings unexpected encounters, moments of kindness, and self-discovery, while Maureen embarks on her own emotional path at home.
The creative team includes designer Samuel Wyer, choreographer Tom Jackson Greaves, arranger/orchestrator Jeremy Holland-Smith, musical supervisor Phil Bateman, lighting designer Paule Constable, sound designers Ian Dickinson and Gareth Tucker for Autograph, video designer Ash J Woodward, casting director Anna Cooper, and musical director Chris Poon.
Passenger recently released Song for the Countryside, performed with Chichester cast member Jack Wolfe, as the first track from the forthcoming concept album.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a heartfelt celebration of love, hope, and the chance to begin again—no matter where life’s road has taken you.
