⭐ RUMOUR – BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN – STAGE ADAPTATION SET FOR LONDON PREMIERE ⭐
A stage adaptation of Brokeback Mountain is set to premiere in London this year, it is rumoured.
Plans to bring Annie Proulx’s beloved novel to the London stage were first announced back in 2016 but failed to materialise. This will reportedly change, with the show set to finally premiere later this year.
Set in 1963, the story follows two young men, Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, are hired for the summer to look after sheep at a remote grazing range on Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming. Unexpectedly, alone in the wilderness, they form an intense emotional and physical bond that will change their lives forever. And over the next twenty years, as their separate lives play out through marriages, children and dead-end jobs, they long to be together, back on Brokeback Mountain, in a place where there are no secrets, only each other.
The book was the basis of a 2005 film starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, which went on to pick up Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Score. The film also won BAFTA’s and Golden Globes for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay.
I really hope this is true! ! !
