THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
Fear will hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Adapted by OWEN O’NEILL & DAVE JOHNS.
Based on the novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by
STEPHEN KING
Directed by DAVID ESBJORNSON
Despite protests of his innocence, Andy Dufresne is handed a double life sentence for the brutal murders of his wife and her lover. Incarcerated in the notorious Shawshank facility, he quickly learns that no one can survive alone.
Andy strikes up an unlikely friendship with the prison fixer Red, and things start to take a slight turn for the better. However, when Warden Stammas decides to bully Andy into subservience and exploit his talents for accountancy, a desperate plan is quietly hatched...
Based on Stephen King’s 1982 novella, this thrilling stage production examines friendship and hope behind the claustrophobic bars of a maximum-security facility. The 1994 feature film was nominated for seven Academy Awards.
