The Kite Runner Tickets

Very good

I loved the book, so looked forward to the show. Sadly poor acting and direction, leaves you unaffected by the terribly sad story. I dare say in the second half I was fighting the urge to leave the theatre as bad acting became irritating.

After reading the novel, I was interested to see the play and was not disappointed. The play storyline was true to the book and although I read it a while ago and couldn'tremember the full story, it came flooding back. Heartbreaking! The setting was amazing, especially the kite backdrops.

Couldn't understand where all the 4 star reviews on the promo poster came from. The book was amazing, didn't see the film but suspect that would've been better, the play didn't feel the right platform for the story. A good attempt by adult actors to play children but along the way the sense of innocence and vulnerability was lost. Also the scope, the landscape and backdrop was lost. In bridging the scenes the lead talking to the audience telling the story made it feel like a talking book and distanced the action and characters from the audience. Worthy attempt but not the right medium for this story.

The show was very true to the book. The acting was warm and engaging. Brilliant with the Tabas player as the accompanying music. The scenography in harmony with the rest of the show.

Really loved the show. Creative, emotional and fun show.

Such a wonderful show - did such justice to the book. Amazing acting and my goodness was it a rollercoaster of emotions!!! So glad we managed to see this - definitely recommend!

Absolutely brilliant, great story very true to the book

Authentic and true the book.

This show was captivating from the moment it bdgan. The whole performance was excellent and I wojld recommend any one to see it

I travelled from Ireland specifically to see this show and it didn't disappoint. I am a huge fan of the books so I was nervous to see how it would translate to the stage bit it was done with such dignity and remained true to the text. I thought the actor who played Hassan was incredible and it was overall a hugely emotive performance. I was honoured to have seen it. Fantastic!!!!!!

Powerful and moving play. I absolutely loved the book and this theatre performances didn't fail to bring out the same emotions I felt whilst reading the book. A must-see!

Excellent production. Far better than the film but it can't beat the book. sensitive issues are dealth with in an emotive way that touches the whole audience. I was not disappointed with this production and the acting was second to none.

Firstly it would be good to have some background knowledge of the story of the kite runner. It is a sobering modern story. Although I was gripped by the play it felt a little long and overdone in places. Other parts of the story that were omitted that I felt could have added more drama and crescendo. The part where Amir re meets the childhood bully , now a senior Taliban official is rushed and felt under directed. Most problematic for me was our seating in the balcony because I could barely hear the actors, particularly the lead actor did not project. On a positive note the staff provided me with headphones which resolved the problem. The play felt a little long in the second half. However overall I l loved it as I knew the story well. It was pretty much as the author had written it.

Overall an enjoyable production (although shocking in parts - not suitable for children). I think the way the play has been written gives too much time to Amir (although I appreciate this is difficult to avoid due to the first person narrative of the book). The actor playing Amir was not particularly captivating to watch in parts. This said, the actors playing Rahim Khan and Hassan were strong and portrayed their parts very well. Another thing was that the story felt rushed (again, I appreciate this is hard to avoid due to the length/depth of the book). Perhaps it could've been split into two parts? To sum up, I found the production very adequate but felt it was carried more by the power of the story than the actors.

Condensed version of the book very cleverly portrayed with minimal props.

This show was amazing and very well adapted from the book! The actors were very talented and portrayed the character with depth and authenticity. Poignant moments where we felt very emotionally lost in the story! Fantastic thank you !! Couple sat next to us were very distracting during key parts of the show but the ushers and managers delt with them very well! Ushers and the security were very helpful and welcoming attitude

Loved it soo much,coming back on 17th

A superb if challenging production even more relevant now than ever before. A wonderful book brought to life in a beautiful event

Performance was true to book (which I have read many times!) Brilliant! My friend, who has not read the book, accompanied me and thought it was fantastic, too.

It was absolutely amazing. I haven't enjoyed anything as much for a long time. My daughter and I didn't stop raving about the show all the way home. Acting was supberb. Just loved it...

Reading the story in advance would help but the story presentation on stage is clear enough if you haven't read the book.

I couldn't help but stand at the end. The acting was excellent and the way the play has been written for the stage from the book has been done brilliantly. I absolutely loved reading the book so it was great to enjoy it all over again on the stage. It's a moving story for those who have or haven't read the book, it's a must see!!

The Kite Runner is my favourite book and this adaptation didn't let me fiwn at all. Powerful performances from all the actors.

Incredible story, touched the soul. Great performances.

Had read the book and seen the play so was sceptical about theatre production but I was pleasantly surprised. Had me captured from start to end

In today's climate of terrerisom and civil war the message of honesty, care and loyalty manifested in this production should give us the message to employ these qualities towards one another. Because this play is very much a current issue I thought it excellent reason for thought and therefore a must see.

Lacking in dramatic impact. Thoughtfully told but a little laboured. Ok rather than good.
