About

Stage Adaptation by Mike Bartlett

Based on the Enigma Productions Limited motion picture
By arrangement with Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
And Allied Stars S.A. Panama
Screenplay by Colin Welland

“Where does the power come from to see the race to its end? From within.”

1924 Paris Olympic Games, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell race for acceptance and glory as they vie to become the fastest men on Earth.

Based on an extraordinary true story, both men yearn for the simplicity of the track as they battle for their faiths and nation in this inspirational and moving tale of courage, honour and conviction.

A heart-pounding new production set to a soaring musical score, adapted from the Oscar-winning movie by Mike Bartlett (King Charles III) and directed by Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge).

Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. On behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
