Film-to-stage adaptations are all the rage. In recent months, theatre adaptations of Dr. Strangelove, The Devil Wears Prada, the Hunger Games, Withnail and I, Cruel Intentions and Minority Report have all been announced.
And then there is one of Netflix's hottest properties, Stranger Things, which opens in London next month. Now, according to Deadline, another of the streamer's hits is heading to the stage: chess drama The Queen's Gambit, based on Walter Tevis’ 1983 best-selling novel.
