BAFTA-nominated Mike Faist and Oscar-nominated actor Lucas Hedges will star in a London stage adaptation of Annie Proulx’s best-selling novel Brokeback Mountain.
The production is described as a play with music and will run at the Sohoplace Theatre in the West End for a 12-week season from May 10.
Theater owner and producer Nica Burns stressed that the play is based on Proulx’s short story originally published in The New Yorker in 1997 and not on Ang Lee’s critically acclaimed 2005 film that starred Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.
