Overview
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. It's wrong what they say about the
past, about how you can bury it, because the past claws its way out. I
realize I've 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.
