The stage reincarnation of the dystopian tale will take over London's theatre district with the help of a few well-known West End creatives, including playwright Conor McPherson, whose work includes the musical based on the work of Bob Dylan, Girl From The North Country, as well as director Matthew Dunster, whose credits include the recent West End show 2:22 – A Ghost Story.
