The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
by Angus Jackson from John Boyne

Bruno has a friend called Shmuel.

Like Bruno, Shmuel is nine years old.

Their birthdays are on the same day.

But Shmuel lives on the other side of a fence, and he's always wearing striped pyjamas...

Based on the best-selling novel by John Boyne, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a heart-wrenching tale of an unlikely friendship between two innocent boys.

Angus Jackson's deeply affecting adaptation was produced by The Children's Touring Partnership and Chichester Festival Theatre on a UK tour in 2015.
