Photos: A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS At Birmingham Rep
Running from Fri 11 Apr – Sat 3 May 2025.
A Thousand Splendid Suns comes to Birmingham Rep from Fri 11 Apr – Sat 3 May 2025, based on the novel by Khaled Hosseini, adapted by Ursula Rani Sarma, and directed by Roxana Silbert. See photos from the production.
In 1992 in an Afghanistan ravaged by war, an orphaned Laila is left alone in an increasingly threatening world. Her older neighbour Rasheed is quick to open his home and takes Laila as his second wife.
Rasheed’s first wife Mariam has no choice but to accept her younger, and now pregnant, rival. As the Taliban take over, life for all of them becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear, and the two women find themselves unlikely allies.
Former Rep and Hampstead Theatre Artistic Director Roxana Silbert returns to Birmingham to direct this unflinching, life affirming drama, in which love grows and sustains the human spirit even during the hardest of times.
