Storyhouse to stage captivating adaptation of 'The Beekeeper of Aleppo'
By Dherran Titherington 6th Mar 2026
An acclaimed stage production of 'The Beekeeper of Aleppo' arrives at Storyhouse next month.
Storyhouse will stage the gripping adaptation of Christy Lefteri's bestselling novel this April as part of a national tour from the team behind the West End and Broadway sensation 'The Kite Runner'.
The story follows beekeeper Nuri (Adam Sina) and his wife Afra (Farah Saffari), who are forced to flee their home in Aleppo when war devastates their lives, beginning a difficult journey marked by danger and loss.
"Christy Lefteri's sensational novel is a clarion call to the everyday - but extraordinary - lives of people who seek a better tomorrow," said director Anthony Almeida.
"'Beekeeper' is a play full of heart, wit and hardship, and to share these vivid characters with audiences nationwide in 2026 feels ever-more urgent.
"I'm truly excited for how this talented, soulful company of actors will light up the stage."
Adapted by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler, 'The Beekeeper of Aleppo' is presented by Nottingham Playhouse and UK Productions Ltd and directed by multi-award-winning Anthony Almeida.
