Harold and Maude at Charing Cross Theatre

As Harold and Maude starts previewing at Charing Cross Theatre starring Sheila Hancock and Bill Milner we bring you Darren Bell’s great production photos. Harold and Maude is an idiosyncratic romantic fable told though the eyes of the most unlikely pairing: a compulsive, self-destructive young man and a devil-may-care, septuagenarian bohemian. Dame Marjorie “Maude” Chardin (Sheila Hancock), is a free spirit who wears her hair in braids, believes in living each day to its fullest, and “trying something new every day”.
