Russell T Davies’ acclaimed It’s a Sin is being transformed into a live stage production, bringing the story that captivated television audiences into a completely new form.

The original Channel 4 drama followed a group of young gay men and their friends living in London during the 1980s as the HIV/AIDS crisis began devastating their community.
Created by Russell T Davies, the five-part series starred Olly Alexander as Ritchie alongside Omari Douglas, Callum Scott Howells, Lydia West and Nathaniel Curtis.
Its soundtrack was also a major part of the series, drawing heavily on the music of the 1980s.
What is It’s a Sin?
The new production will use dance to revisit the friendship, love, freedom and loss at the centre of the television series.
It marks a significant new chapter for It’s a Sin, taking characters and themes established on television and reimagining them for a live audience.
Further details about casting and additional tour dates are expected ahead of the premiere.
