Stage
1988: Carrie is notorious for its history as a flop on Broadway, and has gained a cult following in recent years. The
musical was revived at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in New York, directed by Stafford Arima from January until April
2012. On September 25, 2012, the first official cast recording was released. The new production is currently available
to license for professional and amateur productions from Rodgers & Hammerstein Theatricals.
1990: Ghost Stories was an adaptation of Stephen King's short stories "The Return of Timmy Baterman," about
zombies; "Strawberry Spring," about a campus serial killer; "Gray Matter," a black comedy about a hideous mutation
caused by a bottle of beer; "Uncle Otto's Truck," and "The Boogeyman," about a distraught father's encounter with a
child-killing closet monster, as well as selections from Pet Sematary. Adapted and directed by Robert Pridham, the
play premiered at the Arts Center Theatre at Kent Place School in Summit, New Jersey, and toured the United States
in the mid-1990s.
1993: Rage stage play produced by Shane Black and directed by Jim Birge. Originally titled Getting It On, it was
intended to premiere in Jasper, Indiana, but scheduling and venue issues forced it to move to the VFW in Santa
Claus, Indiana, where it ran from April 23 to May 1. Venue problems caused the final show, on May 2, to be canceled.
2005: Misery stage play by Simon Moore based on 1987 novel. Another adaptation, written by William Goldman (who
wrote the 1990 film), premiered on Broadway in 2015 with Bruce Willis and Laurie Metcalf. A musical version also
exists, written by Jeff Hockhauser and Bob Johnson. While it has not been staged, a demo recording has circulated
on the internet in recent years.
2009: Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption was dramatized by Dave Johns and Owen O'Neill for the Gaiety
Theatre, Dublin.[53][54] A later version, directed by Peter Sheridan, had its world premiere at the Peter Sheridan
Theatre in London in September 2010. A production was mounted at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe directed by Lucy
Pitman-Wallace in August 2013.[55] In April 2019, The Shawshank Redemption made its North American debut at the
Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, directed by Bob Paisley. It garnered great reviews from
critics during its run. It featured Keenan Ramos as Red, Chris Roady as Andy Defresne, S.E. Perry as Warden
Stammas, Tim Ahlenius as Hadley, Chad Burris as Boggs Diamond, Dan Daly as Pinky, Kevin Fewell as Brooksie,
Christopher Preyer as Rooster, Larry Goodman as Dawkins, Nick Hazel as Entwhistle, Evan Lovelace as Tommy,
Andrew Paredes as Rico, and Alex Paxton as inmate/guard.
2012: Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, an original musical with book by Stephen King and music and lyrics by
John Mellencamp. After a week of previews, it ran at Atlanta's Alliance Theatre from April 11 to May 13, 2012. A
concept album was released the following year.
2013: Dolores Claiborne is an American opera composed by Tobias Picker. It premiered at the San Francisco Opera
in Fall 2013.
2014: "The Body" (also known as "Stand By Me") was produced by Chellaston Players in Derby, England. Though an
amateur staging (produced with Stephen King's permission), it received rave reviews.

There have also been dramatizations of many of King's short stories, including "Nona", "Quitters, Inc.", "In the
Deathroom", "Strawberry Spring", "Harvey's Dream", "The Man Who Loved Flowers", "Mute", "The Ten O'Clock People"
and King's poem, "Paranoid: A Chant". There have also been alleged stage productions of Rage as well as several parody
