The La Jolla Playhouse production of Sideways is the premiere stage adaptation of Rex Pickett’s acclaimed road-trip novel, which also inspired the Oscar-winning film. Directed by Tony Award-winner and Playhouse Director Emeritus Des McAnuff, the staging places a distinctly Californian landscape at the heart of the storytelling. McAnuff approaches the material as a quintessential American road story, evoking the mythic qualities of classics like Huckleberry Finn. Scenic design by Tony-nominated UC San Diego alumnus Robert Brill anchors the production visually. While honoring the film’s global recognition, the creative team digs deeper into the original novel, adding characters and scenes to cultivate a richer, more emotionally layered narrative that stands firmly on its own.
