⭐ THE GREEN MILE – WORLD PREMIERE STAGE ADAPTATION ANNOUNCED – MERCURY THEATRE COLCHESTER ⭐
The world premiere of the stage adaptation of Stephen King’s The Green Mile has been announced by Mercury Theatre Colchester.
The company have commissioned British playwright Joel Horwood (The Ocean at the End of the Lane – National Theatre) to write an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel The Green Mile which will receive its world premiere on the Colchester stage in 2022, ahead of a national tour.
The Green Mile tells the story of death row supervisor Paul Edgecombe’s encounter with John Coffey, an unusual inmate who displays inexplicable healing and empathetic abilities. The novel also spawned the critically acclaimed 1999 film adaptation written and directed by Frank Darabont, starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan.
Mercury Theatre Colchester will reopen next month after two years of closure following the Mercury Rising transformation, a 3-year campaign which raised over £11.3 million to reimagine the theatre and improve accessibility throughout.
Further details of the production will be announced in due course.
Exciting! ! !
