The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2015)

A deeply moving and thought-provoking production based on 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.

This world premiere of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was brought to the stage by The Children’s Touring Partnership who previously produced Swallows and Amazons and Goodnight Mister Tom.
