The Shawshank Redemption
Glasshouse Theatre, QPAC
The Shawshank Redemption, the story you love, live on stage.
The Shawshank Redemption is a powerful stage production that places you just metres from the action. Raw, intimate and deeply moving, this is theatre at its most compelling.
Wrongly convicted of the brutal murders of his wife and her lover, Andy Dufresne is sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Shawshank prison. As he navigates the harsh realities of incarceration, he forms an unlikely friendship with fellow inmate Red, discovering that even in the darkest of places, hope can endure.
Based on Stephen King's celebrated novella, this gripping adaptation tells an unforgettable story of hope, friendship and the resilience of the human spirit. The 1994 feature film was nominated for seven Academy Awards.
The lead cast is acclaimed television, film and theatre actor David Berry (Outlander, A Place To Call Home, Home and Away) as Andy Dufresne, who is wrongly sentenced to life for murdering his wife and her lover; prolific stage and television actor Bert LaBonté (The Book of Mormon, Colin From Accounts, Cloudstreet) as Red, a long-term inmate who forms an unlikely friendship with Andy; and recognised screen actor Rodger Corser (Doctor Doctor, Rush, Channel 9's The Floor) as The Warden, the cruel prison boss.
