The Kite Runner (Play Script): Based on the Novel by Khaled Hosseini

The script for the stage production of Khaled Hosseini´s first and internationally bestselling novel, The Kite Runner, as adapted by playwright Matthew Spangler. The unforgettаble, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father´s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. Now adapted for the stage, the story is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption, and is an exploration of the influence of fathers over sons--their love, their sacrifices, their lies. A sweeping saga of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful story that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic. This adaptation was first performed at Wyndham´s Theatre, London, in December 2016.
