Chariots of Fire - Play is a stage adaptation of the iconic 1981 film, brought to life by a collaborative artistic team and produced for the stage. Written by Mike Bartlett and directed by Edward Hall, this production weaves together the original film score by Vangelis with additional material from Jason Carr, alongside Gilbert & Sullivan motifs that give the piece a distinctive theatrical flavor. The show initially premiered at Hampstead Theatre on May 9, 2012, before transferring to the West End’s Gielgud Theatre in June 2012, with a legal run through January 2013. In 2024, the production was revived at Sheffield Theatres’ Crucible Theatre to align with international events and received wide coverage and praise from critics. The show is produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd and licensed via Concord Theatricals for stage production rights.
