"Studio Lambert chief executive Stephen Lambert said they would "reimagine the show as a bold and surprising theatrical performance". He went on to say that taking it from the screen to stage "is a hugely exciting next step for this much-loved brand". "Faithful fans should expect an intense, joyful night out as we reveal a thrilling new hunting ground for our Traitors," he said."
"The play will be written by John Finnemore, known for TV's Good Omens and radio series Cabin Pressure. It will be directed by Olivier Award winner Rob Hastie, who staged shows like Operation Mincemeat and Standing at the Sky's Edge, and is deputy artistic director of London's National Theatre. The announcement follows Friday's conclusion of series four of the murder mystery reality TV show, which is presented by Claudia Winkleman."
Studio Lambert and Neal Street Productions are collaborating to adapt The Traitors into a staged play to be presented at an unnamed London venue next year. The production will tell a new story inspired by the programme's format, featuring faithful contestants trying to identify traitors among them. John Finnemore will write the play and Rob Hastie will direct. The television series places secret saboteurs among contestants in a Scottish castle and recently drew about 15 million viewers for its celebrity final, in which Alan Carr won. Producers plan a bold theatrical reimagining with an intense, joyful audience experience.
