A Theatre Royal Stratford East & UK Arts Production

THE 70's CULT CLASSIC FILM IS BACK TO LIFE ON STAGE !

Based on the film ‘The Harder They Come" produced & directed by Perry Henzell & co-written with Trevor Rhone

The film that ignited the worldwide reggae revolution explodes again on stage.

Country-boy Ivan leaves home in the Jamaican countryside and travels to Kingston , his head full of songs that he hopes will earn him fame and fortune. But fortune is hard to find as Ivan is ripped off by shady record producers and corrupt cops. He does find the fame he craves - but for all the wrong reasons.

The Harder They Come features all the songs from the film’s blazing soundtrack, including:

"You Can Get It If You Really Want", "Many Rivers to Cross", "Pressure Drop", "By the Rivers of Babylon", "Sitting in Limbo" and, of course, "The Harder They Come".
