Derek Jarman’s anarchic punk film Jubilee is to be adapted for the stage with a cast including Toyah Willcox who made her screen debut in the original version 40 years ago.
The new stage version, which will open at Manchester’s Royal Exchange theatre this November, casts Willcox in the role of the time-travelling queen.
The stage version will be firmly set in the modern day, with the script updated throughout the show’s run to acknowledge current events.
Goode says that his stage version will use as much of Jarman’s original screenplay as possible.
