NHB Modern Plays- Brokeback Mountain

A heartbreaking tale of an irresistible and hidden love spanning twenty years and its tragic consequences. Based on Annie Proulx's short story, with original songs by Dan Gillespie Sells.





'I been lookin at people on the street. This happen a other people? What the hell do they do?'

Wyoming, 1963. A wild, unforgiving land where people live simple, unforgiving lives.

When ranch hands Ennis and Jack take seasonal jobs on the isolated Brokeback Mountain, they find companionship in each other. And then they find something more.

Brokeback Mountain tells the heartbreaking tale of an irresistible and hidden love spanning twenty years, and its tragic consequences. Based on a short story by Annie Proulx, this stage adaptation by Ashley Robinson, with songs by Dan Gillespie Sells, opened at @sohoplace in London's West End in 2023. It was directed by Jonathan Butterell, and featured Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges as Jack and Ennis, with Eddi Reader performing the songs.

As Annie Proulx said of the adaptation, 'Brokeback Mountain has been recreated in several different forms, each with its own distinctive moods and impact. Ashley's script is fresh and deeply moving, opening sight lines not visible in the original nor successive treatments.'
