⭐ MINORITY REPORT – WORLD PREMIERE STAGE ADAPTATION ANNOUNCED FOR NOTTINGHAM PLAYHOUSE, BIRMINGHAM REP & LYRIC HAMMERSMITH ⭐
The world premiere of the stage adaptation of MINORITY REPORT will be coming to the UK next year, it has been announced.
Based on Philip K. Dick’s 1956 near-future novella made globally famous by Steven Spielberg’s 2002 blockbuster movie, this timely presentation is adapted for the stage by David Haig and reunites Simon Friend Entertainment with director Max Webster, whose multi-award-winning production of Life of Pi has captivated audiences both sides of the Atlantic.
Opening at the Nottingham Playhouse, where it plays from 16th February – 9th March 2024, Minority Report then tours to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre from 22nd March – 6th April 2024, before concluding it’s run at London’s Lyric Hammersmith from 19th April – 18 May 2024.
This incredible theatrical experience will use innovative technology to create a world at the borders of science fiction and reality and, unlike the novella and Hollywood film, this innovative new production relocates the action to London, with the central character (most famously played by Tom Cruise) as a leading female neuroscientist, Dame Julia Anderton.
In 2050, neuroscientist Dame Julia Anderton is about to launch the next phase of her pioneering Pre-Crime programme, detaining people for crimes before they are committed. But when Julia is accused of pre-murder, she’s in a race against time to save herself from her own system.
This thrilling adaptation of Phillip K Dick’s iconic story challenges our beliefs about justice and free will in a real-time chase through London of the future.
The creative team also includes features production designer Jon Bausor, video designer Tal Rosner, lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, composer & sound designer Nicola T. Chang, movement director Lucy Hind and casting director Lotte Hines CDG.
