Jack Wolfe will join Mark Addy and Jenna Russell in The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, a new musical based on the multi-million-selling novel by Rachel Joyce, playing in the Minerva Theatre, Chichester from 5 May to 14 June 2025
This world première, adapted by Rachel Joyce from her own novel and featuring modern folk songs by indie musician Passenger, will star Mark Addy as Harold and Jenna Russell as Maureen, with Jack Wolfe as The Balladeer.
The company also includes Ralf Birtwell, Amy Booth-Steel, Terino Callender, Don Gallagher, Jacqueline Hughes, Neil Martin, Anu Ogunmefun, Ben Redfern, Sharon Rose, Timo Tatzber and Madeleine Worrall.
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. 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.
