‘Brokeback Mountain’ Stage Adaptation Brings Praise for Rising Stars Lucas Hedges and Mike Faist

Lucas Hedges and Mike Faist star in a stage adaptation of "Brokeback Mountain" in London
The play covers two decades in 90 minutes, following the story of two Wyoming shepherds in love
The actors are accompanied by a live band, but the play is not a musical
Reviews for the play have been mixed, but the two leads have received wide praise
Director Jonathan Butterell sees the story as a tragedy about fear, rather than a love story
