"...This show, despite some inconsistencies, is worth seeing. While the stage adaptation might struggle to fully replicate the visual impact of the movie, the show has plenty of positives, including a riveting story and the power of hope to "get busy living, or get busy dying.""

"...Based on the 1982 Stephen King novel and the award-winning 1994 film, NextStop Theatre Company’s “The Shawshank Redemption” follows the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker sentenced to life in the Shawshank State Penitentiary for the murder of his wife and her lover—a murder for which Andy continues to claim his innocence. While the film mainly follows Andy, the play adaptation centers more on the narrator, Ellis “Red” Redding, who tells the story of Andy’s life in prison and thrilling journey to prove his innocence."
