Dark Noon Tickets

A riveting blend of humor, stagecraft, and history.

About Dark Noon

They say history is written by the victors. In Dark Noon, the story is told by the vanquished.

St Ann’s Warehouse presents the break-out hit of 2023’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Dark Noon envisions U.S. history as equal parts ridiculous, horrifying, and deeply profound. On an open stage covered with the red dirt of the prairie, the skeleton of a pioneer town is erected in real time by an extraordinary cast of South African actors. Acclaimed Danish director Tue Biering and South African co-director and choreographer Nhlanhla Mahlangu retell the Hollywood story of a High Noon Western through an outsider’s lens: Native Americans, cowboys, missionaries, enslaved Africans, Chinese workers, European settlers, prostitutes, and Confederates. Ripe with marvelous stagecraft, slapstick humor, and a keen eye for hypocrisy, Dark Noon is a Wild Wild West circus where an innocent encounter can explode in an instant.

The most creative show you'll see on stage, ever

See it if you're an adventurous theatergoer; you're okay with leaving your comfort zone in the pursuit of truth.

Don’t see it if you don't care to acknowledge that our nation was founded on slavery and genocide, and other unsavory pursuits.

Irreverant, Clever, Inventive

See it if you're looking for an original experience, with black actors telling America's story of settling the West, literally building it as they go.

Don’t see it if you don't care for a deeply dark, funny and cynical look at America's history of settlement, genocide & violence,with audience participation

Clever, Ambitious, Quirky

See it if You’re open to a different experience. More atmospheric than story. It hits its landing. Smart.

Don’t see it if You’re looking for a traditional play with a linear and closed narrative, and hate loud pops of gunshots.
