A new musical adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, to be directed by Trevor Nunn, will open in London's West End in April 2008 with tickets to go on sale in September, it was announced Friday. Nunn is regarded as one of the top theatrical directors of recent times. His credits include Les Misérables, Cats, Starlight Express, Nicholas Nickleby, and Sunset Boulevard. A news release said that the GWTW production, featuring music and lyrics by unknown composer Margaret Martin, has been in development for three years. It quoted producer Aldo Scrofani as saying that it would "remain true to Margaret Mitchell's original story and characters while also revealing its relevance to our lives today." The 1939 movie adaptation of Mitchell's book is regarded as the most successful movie of all time.


据上周五的消息，由特雷弗·纳恩执导、改编自玛格丽特·米切尔的著作《乱世佳人》将以全新的音乐剧形式于2008年4月登上伦敦西区剧院的舞台，演出票将于今年九月起售。纳恩是公认近年来顶尖的舞台剧导演之一。他的成功作品包括《悲惨世界》、《猫》、《星光列车》、《尼可拉斯·尼克勒比》以及《日落大道》。 一位新闻发言人透露，《乱世佳人》音乐剧的制作已耗时三年，其最大卖点在于启用了新兴作曲家玛格丽特·马丁为其创作音乐和歌词。用制作人奥尔多·斯克法尼的话说，该剧将“忠于玛格丽特笔下的故事情节和人物形象，同时赋予其适当的现实生活的成分。”1939年的《乱世佳人》电影是公认有史以来最成功的一部电影。
