‘Astonishing’ British horror film Saint Maud to hit the stage


Acclaimed British movie starring Morfydd Clark will be adapted for Live theatre in Newcastle by Jessica Andrews, with music by Gazelle Twin

Rose Glass’s atmospheric debut feature, released to huge critical acclaim in 2020, starred Morfydd Clark as a troubled caregiver in Scarborough who develops a damaging obsession with her patient (Jennifer Ehle). Andrews added: “Rose Glass’s film is so compelling and visually arresting, and it’s very exciting to have the opportunity to bring Maud’s dark and troubling story to stage. Champion by Ishy Din, which will open in February next year, is set in 1977 during Muhammad Ali’s visit to South Shields and observes the effect of the boxer’s arrival on two mixed-race brothers.
