Synopsis

"All this happened a long time ago and could never happen again."

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a deeply moving and thought-provoking stage adaptation of the best-selling novel by John Boyne.

Set during World War II, the story is seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight-year-old son of the commandant at a concentration camp, whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and devastating consequences.

Bruno's friendship with Shmuel takes him from innocence to revelation, revealing the poetic irony that through a child's eye everyone can appear the same.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas premiered at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2015.
