Russell T Davies, the creator of the hit Channel 4 drama ‘It’s A Sin’, is teaming up with Pet Shop Boys to adapt the show into a dance production in Manchester. The original series, which premiered in January 2021, charted the lives of a group of gay men and their friends amid the HIV and AIDS crisis in the UK in the 1980s. The show was critically acclaimed and became the most nominated show at the BAFTAs in 2022.
The new production, set to premiere at Manchester’s Aviva Studios, will combine contemporary dance and cinematic visuals. Pet Shop Boys, whose 1987 hit ‘It’s A Sin’ inspired the show’s title, will be involved in the project, along with production companies Rambert and Factory International. The show’s creator, Russell T Davies, expressed his excitement about the new production, saying it’s ‘one of the greatest honours of my life’ to have the show transformed into something new and exciting.
