Dayton Live and The Human Race Theatre Company are pleased to welcome the national tour of THE KITE RUNNER at the Victoria Theatre, May 28 - June 2, 2024. Interested in a cast interview or media tickets to opening night? Reach out to Kailey Yeakley at kailey.yeakley@daytonlive.org.
Show Synopsis:
Based on Khaled Hosseini’s beloved, international best-selling novel, THE KITE RUNNER is a powerful new play adapted by Matthew Spangler that follows one man’s journey to confront his past and find redemption.
Afghanistan is a divided country, 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 of the boys can foresee the incident which will change their lives forever. Told across two decades and two continents, THE KITE RUNNER is an unforgettable journey of forgiveness, and shows us all that we can be good again.
