It looks like The Shawshank Redemption will become a stage play...

A new stage version of Stephen King's 'The Shawshank Redemption' will have its world premiere in Dublin in May.

Adapted by Owen O'Neill and Dave Johns from King's novella 'Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption', the production will be directed by Peter Sheridan.

'The Shawshank Redemption' will open at the Gaiety Theatre on Tuesday, 19 May with previews from Thursday, 14 May.

Full cast details will be announced in early 2009.
