Axis Company presents HIGH NOON, a limited encore engagement of their adaptation of the screenplay for the 1952 Western film, devised by an ensemble led by Artistic Director Randy Sharp.

In this interpretation of High Noon, the Wild West is not the place of heroes and adventure, but a landscape of overbearing nothingness where humans, and their moral conflicts, are cast in glaring light. As the town awaits the alleged return, and savage revenge streak, of a murderer on the noon train, their marshal desperately tries to rally support and save his own life.

Reviews

  • This onstage anxiety dream forces us to reexamine what really is the "right thing," and why an allegedly heroic marshal would find himself alone... 'High Noon' couldn't be timelier as we reexamine political authority and who has the legitimacy to wield it. While the original film presented a black and white tale of duty, Axis admirably paints in shades of gray.”
  • Axis artistic director and founder Randy Sharp transforms a classic American Western into an existential purgatory…'Waiting for Godot' meets Clint Eastwood’s 'High Plains Drifter'…a kind of way station where there are no genuine heroes and everyone has to face their sins, both individually and as a community…(the) finale…(provides) a surprising, subtle twist…in this uncompromising morality tale about mid-twentieth-century America — and today.
