On June 5, 1972 the seminal film 'The Harder They Come' premiered at the Carib Theatre in Kingston, Jamaica and from there took Jamaica and reggae music to the world becoming one of the most popular cult films in history. Jamaica’s first feature film was produced and directed by Perry Henzell who co-wrote the script with Trevor Rhone.

Over 50 years later, the renowned playwright Suzan-Lori Parks has written a stage musical adapted from the movie and it will be staged at the Theatre Royal Stratford East in London in September 2025.
