Described as being one of the most complained about books in 2008 by the American Library Association, Khaled Hosseini‘s 2003 critically polarising tale The Kite Runner offers a glimpse into the emotionally torn world of Amir, a well to do young boy taking in the constant injustices casting a sinister shadow over his hometown of Kabul, Afghanistan.
The other week I went to see the National Theatre’s revival of David Hare’s Skylight, starring Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan and the lesser known but exceptionally talented Matthew Beard. I drove just 2 minutes to get to the show, sat in some great seats and saw a fantastic performance. I do not live in London, I do not know someone “in the biz” or have a spare £148.50 to spend on a ticket. The show was being beamed to me in Kent, live from Wyndham’s Theatre for less than the price of a train ticket to London by NT Live.
