From the first novel about contemporary Afghanistan to be written in English, this performance dramatically portrays the relationship of two boys - Amir, a privileged Pashtun and Hassan, a Hazara servant. Surprising events occur with the backdrop of 1970’s Afghanistan in turmoil. Through the eyes of the young protagonist, Amir, the actor takes us on a heartbreaking journey of friendship and betrayal in a society of severe class division. We meet upwards of eight characters, each fully realized by this virtuosic performer. This Literature to Life award winner features a verbatim performance from the first half of this best selling contemporary novel by Khaled Hosseini.
