Based on the novella by Stephen King, this adaptation of The Shawshank Redemption hearkens to the 1994 critically acclaimed film, bringing audiences to the edge of their seats. Andy Dufresne is convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover and sentenced to life imprisonment at Shawshank prison. While at Shawshank, Andy befriends some of the other inmates, namely a character known only as Red. Over time Andy finds a way to live out life with as much relative ease as one can find in prison, leaving a message for all that while the body may be locked away in a cell, the spirit can never be truly imprisoned.After a nationwide search and casting process the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre has assembled a diverse mix of local and national talent featuring several actors making their MET debut Playwrights Owen ONeill and Dave Johns are known across the pond for their adaptations of classic films into stage productions. Before Shawshank they appeared in 12 Angry Men and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
