You know, I honestly believe he has two hearts? A heart that fails
him, of course. But another that keeps him going - a heart that
won't be beaten! A story of hope, from Afghanistan to Wales. Herat,
Afghanistan, 2000. A young mother makes a speech demanding freedom
for Afghan women, angering local Taliban leaders who issue a
warrant for her execution. With no choice but to run, the Amiri
family embark on a long and terrifying journey out of Afghanistan
and across Europe with the UK as their ultimate goal. Thrown into
an unfamiliar world of fake passports and untrustworthy handlers,
the Amiris must learn how to live with nothing and avoid capture at
all costs. But with their eldest son Hussein's life-threatening
heart condition growing steadily worse, the journey soon becomes a
race against time. Will they beat the odds and reach the UK in time
for Hussein to receive the surgery he so badly needs? The Boy with
Two Hearts is the story of a family in danger and a love letter to
the NHS. This extraordinary true story reveals the courage and
humanity behind each refugee story, showing that hope and a sense
of home can be found in the most unlikely places. This edition was
published to coincide with the production at the National Theatre
in London in October 2022.
