Mike Faist, Lucas Hedges, “Brokeback Mountain” Promotional Poster
Annie Proulx’s short story “Brokeback Mountain” is set for a stage adaptation on London’s West End, reports Variety.
The story was previously adapted as a 2005 film by Ang Lee, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, playing Jack and Ennis respectively, who take jobs on the remote Brokeback Mountain and develop a relationship. It won three Oscars – for direction, adapted screenplay and score.
The West End adaptation will star Mike Faist (BAFTA-nominee for “West Side Story”) and Lucas Hedges (Oscar-nominee for “Manchester by the Sea”) as Jack and Ennis. Both actors will be making their West End debuts.
