Veteran PINK FLOYD rocker ROGER WATERS is adapting the band's classic
album THE WALL into a stage musical - and he's recruiting leading
players in London's theatre world to work on the project.
First on the bassist's hit list is writer LEE HALL, who will begin work
on The Wall when he has finished collaborating with director STEPHEN
DALDRY on the BILLY ELLIOT musical.
Waters is also chasing director ADRIAN NOBLE to helm the musical - but
he is committed to other stage shows and has a movie, PAPA, scheduled
for filming, so he won't be able to join the stage production until next
year (06).
The Wall was famously made into a movie starring SIR BOB GELDOF and BOB
HOSKINS in 1982, and a special live adaptation was performed in Berlin
after the wall there was dismantled in 1989.
