Jack Torrance was of course played by Jack Nicholson in Kubrick’s classic horror film, the role subsequently played by Steven Weber in the 1997 mini-series directed by Mick Garris. King’s classic horror novel is being adapted for the stage by Tony winner Simon Stephens ( Morning Son), with Ivo van Hove ( West Side Story) leading the team.ĭeadline notes in their report, “Sources say the stage play of The Shining will adhere more closely with King’s 1977 book than Stanley Kubrick’s film.” This is surely music to Stephen King’s ears, as King is famously not a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s iconic take on his material.
