I wish they gave this to a director who can actually, you know, direct.

Of course his agent would...but his agent is incorrect

So far they have not announced the venue. They might be banking on this show becoming another GCSE/A-level requirement, like with To Kill a Mockingbird, A Streetcar Named Desire, or @sohoplace’s Medea, or almost every show at the National Theatre or Almeida.
The books were a hit in the 2010s and the YA dystopia themed novels were trendy back then (The Selection series by Kiera Cass, Divergent series by Veronica Roth, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner), along with the Twilight saga and 50 Shades (funnily the latter two book series were banned readings back when I was in high school). The film adaptations were hits too. Although the trend died likely because of the Trump era where it felt too close to home.

Is this a stage adaptation of the first book? Or a new story?
