After a triumphant run last Autumn, hit reggae musical The Harder They Come returns to Stratford East. Based on the cult Jamaican film produced and directed by Perry Henzell and co-written with Trevor Rhone, the stage adaptation is by Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Suzan-Lori Parks and directed by Olivier Award-winner Matthew Xia.
The Harder They Come tells the story of Ivan, an aspiring singer who arrives in Kingston, Jamaica, determined to live out his dreams on his own terms and make it as a music superstar. This unmissable show transports audiences to 1970s Jamaica and asks: “What is the personal cost of fighting against systemic injustice?”
