Christy Lefteri’s 2019 bestseller The Beekeeper of Aleppo is both a powerful and poetic story about the refugee experience. Her story of Nuri and his wife Afra's escape from Syria to England was inspired by time Lefteri spent working in a refugee camp in Athens. Syria may currently be seen as less newsworthy than it was, but the issue of people displaced from their homes and seeking safety elsewhere has rarely been more discussed. So why does this important and emotional story feel flat on stage?
The Beekeeper of Aleppo will come to Storyhouse next month in a new stage production from the team behind the West End and Broadway sensation The Kite Runner.
Nottingham Playhouse and UK Productions will present THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO in a new restaging of the 2023 world-premiere adaptation by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler.
