Read Sandra's review of The Shawshank Redemption
Many, many people would name the movie based on Stephen King's novella, The Shawshank Redemption starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, as their favourite film of all time. It's so great, it even breaks down the resistance of hardened Spoonfed cynics. You have to love it.
Produced by Dublin's Gaiety Theatre, the stage version is by all accounts very different... but also rather brilliant. The staging is so convincing that audiences and critics report a real sense of fear and claustrophobia, of being transported inside the prison walls where our heroes languish. But the plot, with its oppression, despair and indomitable hope, remains and has sent punters charging out onto the streets filled with hope and energy.
No sooner has the Wyndham Theatre said goodbye to Jude Law as Hamlet, than they find themselves with another blockbuster on their hands. Definitely see this if you can.
