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.
