The Beekeeper of Aleppo

Our Visiting Professor, Matthew Spangler, has a new play touring the UK and Ireland this season. The Beekeeper of Aleppo, based on the original book by Christy Lefteri and co-adapted with Nesrin Alrefaai, premiered at Nottingham Playhouse (Monday 9 – Saturday 28 February) and tours until June. They will talk about the process of adapting the book, and performing migration, as part of an event during GoGlobal Week in March 2026.
