The Kite Runner at Oxford Playhouse
30 April - 4 May
Direct from Broadway, The Kite Runner, an outstanding and unforgettable theatrical tour de force, returns to Oxford Playhouse.
Based on Khaled Hosseini’s international bestselling novel, adapted by Matthew Spangler and directed by Giles Croft, this haunting tale of friendship spans cultures and continents and follows one man’s journey to confront his past and find redemption.
Afghanistan is a country on the verge of war and best friends are about to be torn apart. It’s a beautiful afternoon in Kabul, the skies are full of colour and the streets are full of the excitement of a kite flying tournament, but no one can foresee the terrible incident that will shatter their lives forever.
One Broadway season and two West End seasons have garnered international acclaim for this incredibly powerful story.
