Following a sell-out run at Birmingham Rep in 2025, the stag adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s multi-million selling novel A Thousand Splendid Suns comes to Theatre Royal Bath.

In 1992 in an Afghanistan ravaged by war, an orphaned Laila is left alone in an increasingly threatening world. Her older neighbour Rasheed is quick to open his home and takes Laila as his second wife.

Rasheed’s first wife Mariam has no choice but to accept her younger, and now pregnant, rival. As the Taliban take over, life for all of them becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear, and the two women find themselves unlikely allies.
