The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner is a stage adaption of Afghan novelist’s 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. As in the book, The Kite Runner is narrated by Amir, who is obsessed with an “unatoned sin” he committed as a well-off child in 1970s Kabul: Amir betrayed his childhood friend, servant, and kite running partner Hasan when Amir’s cowardice, and his desperate need to please his father, cause him to abandon Hasan in the face to a vicious and shocking attack by a neighborhood bully.
