Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire On Stage

[Waterfall-K]

 

"Chariots Of Fire On Stage" is a 2012 stage adaptation of the 1981 Oscar-winning film of the same name.

Production of the Olympic-themed play, which opened at London's Hampstead Theatre 9 May and transferred to the West End on 23 June, is partially inspired by the 2012 London Summer Olympics.

 

The Chariots of Fire adaptation for the stage was written by playwright Mike Bartlett, and Edward Hall directed the play. It stars Jack Lowden as Scottish missionary Eric Liddell, and James McArdle as Jewish Cambridge student Harold Abrahams. For the production, stage designer Miriam Buether transformed the entire theatre into an Olympic stadium, so that audiences have the experience of being in the Olympic stands.

 

The play includes the film's iconic Vangelis score, and Vangelis also created several new pieces of music for the production. The stage version for the London Olympic year was the idea of the film's director, Hugh Hudson, who co-produced the play; Hudson stated,

"Issues of faith, of refusal to compromise, standing up for one's beliefs, achieving something for the sake of it, with passion, and not just for fame or financial gain, are even more vital today."

 

Chariots of Fire opened in previews 9 May at London's Hampstead Theatre, and officially opened there on 22 May. It transferred to the Gielgud Theatre in the West End on 23 June, where it will run through 10 November.
