Coming to the Charing Cross Theatre, Harold and Maude, an idiosyncratic fable told through 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.
Harold and Maude teach each other, and the audience, to look at life in new ways. Colin Higgin’s adaption of the 1971 cult classic film is equal parts dark comedy and innocent romance. Harold and Maude dissolve the lines between darkness and light and the ones that separate people by class, gender and age.
Harold and Maude will be directed by Thom Southerland, and stars Linda Marlowe and Patrick Walshe McBride.
In a recent poll by cinema-goers, Harold and Maude was rated one of the best films of all time. It has a reputation as a cult classic, full of dark humour and satire. I took a wander down to the Charing Cross Theatre to see how it would translate from screen to stage. Maude meets Harold (Patrick Walshe McBride) at a funeral – (neither of them having known the deceased) – and it sparks something within them both.
