Shawshank Redepmtion

Based on the classic novel ‘Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption’ by Stephen King, this iconic story inspired the perennially popular film and is now a smash hit West End play.

Andy Dufresne is a young and successful banker whose life changes drastically when he is convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover and sentenced to two life sentences. Andy is sent to the notorious Shawshank Prison, where he is stripped of his life, family and freedom, and forced to endure a spirit-crushing routine. But with his quiet strength and inner courage, there is one thing that Andy never loses in the face of his adversity and that is hope. Slowly he gains the respect of the guards and his fellow inmates, especially long-time convict Red, the prison ‘fixer’.

This unforgettable tale of courage, friendship and daring to hope, is adapted for the stage by Owen O’Neill and Dave Johns, directed by Peter Sheridan and stars Kevin Anderson (Sleeping with the Enemy, Sunset Boulevard, member of the acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre Company) and Reg E. Cathey (from cult US television series ‘The Wire’). Don’t miss this uplifting story of drama, humour and salvation.
