James W. Nichol adapted The Stone Angel first for radio and then for stage. The radio drama, which premiered in 1989, was broadcast in six parts on CBC Radio's Morningside (and later released as an audiobook).[8] The stage play premiered in 1991 at the Blyth Festival under the direction of Brian Richmond and starring Barbara Chilcott as Hagar.[9] Nichol's play has subsequently been performed in 1993 with Theatre Passe Muraille under the direction of Maureen White,[10] by the Canadian Stage Company in 1999,[11] and by the King's Town Players in 2014,[12] among others.
The Stone Angel was one of the selected books in the 2002 edition of Canada Reads, where it was championed by Leon Rooke.[13][14]
In 2007, it was adapted into a movie, The Stone Angel, filmed in Winnipeg and Hartney, Manitoba. The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Dylan Baker, Elliot Page and Kevin Zegers.[15]
