Carrie (novel and adaptations)

Carrie (1974) was Stephen King's first published novel. The book uses false documents to frame the story of Carrie, a high school girl who after years of being bullied at both home and school discovers she has telekinetic powers.

Carrie draws strong parallels between the onset of the title character's adolesence, especially her menstruation and sexuality, and her psychic powers.

Brian de Palma directed a film version of Carrie in 1976 with Sissy Spacek as Carrie. Amy Irving, William Katt , Betty Buckley, Piper Laurie, Nancy Allen and John Travolta are also featured. A much-belated sequel appeared in 1976, and a TV movie remake was released in 2002.

A 1988 Broadway musical, starring Betty Buckley, Linzi Hateley , and Darlene Love closed after only five performances and 16 previews. An English pop opera filtered through Greek tragedy, the show was such a notorious turkey it provided the title to Ken Mandelbaum 's survey of theatrical disasters, Not Since Carrie: Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops.
