The Beekeeper of Aleppo
Proudly presented by Martin Dodd for UK Productions Ltd in association with Nottingham Playhouse, adapted by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler, from the International No.1 Bestseller Christy Lefteri.
From the producers behind the hugely successful West End and Broadway stage adaptation of The Kite Runner.
‘I was scared of the bees at first, but now, they make me feel alive. They are like a society in complete harmony with itself. Not like people at all, but maybe what people have the potential to be’
Nuri is a beekeeper, his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo – until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. On their terrifying journey, they must face the pain of their own unbearable loss alongside incredible danger. Above all, they must journey to find each other again. This compassionate and beautiful play is a story of connection – between friends, families, and strangers.
