Studio Lambert and Neal Street Productions are developing a major theatrical adaptation of The Traitors for launch in London next year.

The production is being written by John Finnemore (Cabin Pressure, Good Omens) and directed by Olivier Award-winner Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat, Standing at the Sky’s Edge).

Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, said: “Taking The Traitors from screen to stage is a hugely exciting next step for this much-loved brand. Partnering with Neal Street Productions, a true theatrical powerhouse, allows us to reimagine the show as a bold and surprising theatrical performance. Faithful fans should expect an intense, joyful night out as we reveal a thrilling new hunting ground for our Traitors.”

Caro Newling, Co-Founder of Neal Street Productions, said: “In developing The Traitors for the stage, Neal Street and Studio Lambert have curated a team of brilliant faithful theatre-makers led by director Rob Hastie and writer John Finnemore to bring a bold, structural twist to the format that only the live medium can provide.”

Full production details, including timelines, are to be announced in due course. Rights were negotiated through All3Media International.
