The Kite Runner

I became what I am today at the age of twelve. I remember the precise moment crouching behind a mud wall on a frigid winter day in 1975 . . . looking into a deserted alley. Its wrong what they say about the past about how you can bury it because the past claws its way out. I realize Ive been looking into that alley for the last 26 years. Afghanistan is a divided country on the verge of war and two childhood friends are about to be torn apart. It''s a beautiful afternoon in Kabul and the skies are full of the excitement and joy of a kite flying tournament. But neither Hassan or Amir can foresee the terrible incident which will shatter their lives forever. Khaled Hosseini''s first and international best-selling novel has now been adapted into a stunning stage adaptation by Matthew Spangler. This edition was published for the production at Wyndham''s Theatre London from 21 December 2016.
