The Hunger Games first ever stage adaptation is heading to London's West End in Fall 2024. Suzanne Collins is collaborating on the project, and the show will be based on the first book, according to a press release today.
Conor McPherson, an Olivier Award-winning Irish playwright, has adapted Collins' novel and the movie into the upcoming theatrical production directed by Matthew Dunster.
"In a world where the truth itself seems increasingly up for grabs, The Hunger Games beautifully expresses values of resilience, self-reliance, and independent moral inquiry for younger people especially," McPherson said in the statement. "This is turbo-charged storytelling of the highest order, and I'm hugely excited to bring it to a new generation of theatergoers and Suzanne Collins' longstanding and devoted fans."
Collins said she was "very excited to collaborate with the amazing team" for the production.
No word on casting the adaptation, which will highlight The Hunger Games reluctant hero Katniss Everdeen, made famous by Jennifer Lawrence on the big screen (not to mention Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark and Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne, among others).
Dunster said in the release that McPherson's play honors "the voice of Katniss Everdeen so rigorously." The play will follow the 24 young tributes pitted against each other in a televised battle for their lives by the ruthless Capitol and the following Katniss-inspired rebellion.
"This is theatre. It's The Hunger Games in the theatre," Dunster said in the release.

The legendary phrase about luck is relevant not only for the heroes of dystopian fiction, but also for us in real life. Everyone wants fortune to smile on them and bring them victory without risking their lives. I test my luck on the website krundi aviator , where fair conditions allow you to experience real excitement. It will be interesting to see how such a tense story is adapted for the theatre stage.
