The random article for Tuesday, 16 April 2024 is The Kite Runner (play).
The Kite Runner is a stage adaption of Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini's 2003 book The Kite Runner. Aside from sharing the 2003 book as a source, it is unrelated to the 2007 film The Kite Runner. The play was adapted for the stage by Matthew Spangler and premiered at San Jose Repertory Theatre in 2009.
A Broadway production starring Amir Arison as Amir and featuring Azita Ghanizada as Soraya, Eric Sirakian as Hassan/Sohrab, and Faran Tahir as Baba opened to very mixed reviews at the Hayes Theater on July 21, 2022. A national tour of the Broadway production by the same producers and director launched in 2024; starring Ramzi Khalaf as Amir, and featuring Awesta Zarif as Soraya, Shahzeb Zahid Hussain as Hassan/Sohrab, and Haythem Noor as Baba.
