GONE WITH THE WIND - one of the greatest love stories of all time has now been adapted for the stage and will open at the New London Theatre in April 2008.

This landmark new musical is directed by the legendary Trevor Nunn who reunites with designer John Napier, his collaborator on worldwide smash hits including Cats and Les Miserables. The stunning original score is by Margaret Martin who has also adapted the story from Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer Prize winning novel.

Set in 1860's Atlanta GONE WITH THE WIND follows the captivating and passionate story of Scarlett O'Hara and her turbulent relationship with the unpredictable, yet irresistible, Rhett Butler. Against the backdrop of the Civil War Scarlett embarks on an incredible journey of romantic ecstasy and tragic grief spanning ten years. As the epic tale draws to a close Scarlett discovers that the world she has known has changed forever...

Set in 1860’s Atlanta, Georgia, Gone with the Wind follows the story of the seventeen-year-old Scarlett O’Hara, the eldest of three daughters living a life of luxury on their father’s plantation. But then President Lincoln demands the end of slavery in the South and the Civil War begins. Scarlett’s incredible journey through both the war and the peace is mirrored in her turbulent relationship with Rhett Butler, whose actions always defy prediction. Their story spans ten years and mingles romantic ecstasy with tragic grief, as the life these people once knew disappears, for better or worse: gone with the wind.

Gone with the Wind, published in 1936, is one of the best selling novels of the 20th century and won Margaret Mitchell the Pulitzer Prize. Three year’s later in 1939, the film adaptation made box office history as the highest grossing film of all time and is still regarded as one of the greatest American classics.
