Producers of Minority Report have released a video trailer and production photos of the new stage adaptation of the sci-fi classic.

The show premiered at Nottingham Playhouse earlier this month, plays at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre from 22 March to 6 April 2024, and then comes to London’s Lyric Hammersmith theatre in April and May 2024.

Also check out a behind-the-scenes video of rehearsals, with director of the show Max Webster (Macbeth, Life of Pi), and Minority Report’s star Jodie McNee (Orlando, Cuckoo, Anatomy of a Suicide), who plays the main character Dame Julia Anderton, talking about the show.

Trailer: Minority Report

Billed as a futuristic thriller, Minority Report is based on Philip K. Dick’s 1950’s sci-fi novel The Minority Report, that was turned into a blockbuster movie by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Cruise, and is adapted for the stage by writer and actor David Haig (My Boy Jack).

The cast of the show also includes Nick Fletcher (The Crucible, Anna Karenina) as George, Roseanna Frascona (Macbeth, Salomé) as Anna, Nicholas Rowe (Tammy Faye, The Inquiry) as Ralph, Tanvi Virmani (The Crown Jewels, Life of Pi) as David, Chrissy Brooke (Dr Semmelweis, Dirty Dancing), Xenoa Campbell-Ledgister (Sister Act), Ricardo Castro (Wuthering Heights, Come From Away) and Danny Collins (Sweet Charity, Tammy Faye) playing multiple roles.

The creative team also includes Production Designer Jon Bausor; Video Designer Tal Rosner; Lighting Designer Jessica Hung Han Yun; Composer and Sound Designer Nicola T. Chang; Movement Director Lucy Hind; Illusions Designer Richard Pinner; and Casting Director Lotte Hines CDG.

Minority Report is set in 2050, where neuroscientist Dame Julia Anderton (Jodie McNee) is about to launch the next phase of her pioneering Pre-Crime programme, detaining people for crimes before they are committed. But when Julia is accused of pre-murder, she’s in a race against time to save herself from her own system.
