The Beekeeper of Aleppo
The Beekeeper of Aleppo
Adapted for the stage by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler from the acclaimed novel by Christy Lefteri
-UK Productions are delighted to announce the 2026 tour of the highly acclaimed Nottingham Playhouse, production of Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler’s stage adaptation of Christy Lefteri’s gripping best-selling novel, The Beekeeper of Aleppo.
Sparklingly assured… impressive show… anchored in strong performances from a uniformly excellent ensemble cast
The Beekeeper of Aleppo tells the story of Nuri, a beekeeper; and his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo – until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. On their terrifying journey, they must face the pain of their own unbearable loss alongside incredible danger. Above all, they must journey to find each other again.
you can’t fail to be moved by it.
This compassionate and beautiful play is a story of connection – between friends, families and strangers.
The production produced in association with UK Productions premiered at Nottingham Playhouse in early 2023 and went on to tour the UK, receiving rave reviews wherever it played.
Fast moving inventive production is epic in ambition and human in scale
