Another movie is about to make the transition to the stage, published reports indicated on Wednesday. Prison drama The Shawshank Redemption, which received seven Oscar nominations in 1994, is scheduled to premiere in London's West End in September, with Kevin Anderson in the role Tim Robbins played in the movie and Reg E. Cathey in the Morgan Freeman role. Anderson, a member of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theater Company, is best known for his starring role as a conflicted priest in the controversial TV series Nothing Sacred. The play's director is Peter Sheridan. Both the movie and play are based on Stephen King's 1982 novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. »
