The Kite Runner is the excellent stage adaption of Afghan novelist’s Khaled Hosseini’s international bestselling 2003. It is unrelated to the 2007 motion picture of the same name.

The play centre’s around two childhood friends, kite flyers, Amir and his servant Hasan. Amir is obsessed with an “unatoned sin” he committed as a child in 1970s Kabul. Amir’s cowardice, and his desire to please his father, cause him to abandon Hasan to a vicious and shocking attack by a neighbourhood bully.

Fast forward over 20 years and Amir has settled in America. He receives a call telling him “there is a way to be good again.” And he journeys on a dangerous trip back into Taliban-controlled Kabul.

It’s been billed as the “best page-to-stage show since War Horse”. Which is high praise, so don’t miss your chance to see it in Glasgow, book your tickets today.

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, don’t miss it.
