"Debuting at the National Theatre, the show will reunite the film's writer Stephen Beresford and director Matthew Warchus A musical adaptation of hit 2014 Britflick Pride has been in the world for a while - which is not surprising, as its director Matthew Warchus - the outgoing Old Vic boss - is a heavyweight director of stage musicals, notably Matilda and Lord of the Rings."
"The musical adaptation will be directed by Warchus and written by the film's screenwriter Stephen Beresford, who'll handle lyrics as well as the script, while the music comes from Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen and DJ Walde - the latter two are best known for work with hip-hop dance company ZooNation, which suggests the songs could go down a non-showtune route."
