The National Theatre announced today in a press release that Terry Pratchett’s most recent novel, Nation, is to be on the National Theatre stage in November 2009.

As a “new family epic,” Nation follows the productions of Coram Boy, War Horse, and the high-profile His Dark Materials, which Michelle Dockery (Susan, Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather) played in.

The press release calls Nation “a brilliantly wise and witty story about two children from cultures a world apart coming of age on a desert island, which challenges the way we think about identity, nationhood and the history of the Empire.”

The adaptation, which will open in the Olivier auditorium, will be adapted by Mark Ravenhill (The Cut) and directed by Melly Still (Coram Boy).

Nation is sponsored by Accenture.
