The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a historical fiction novel by John Boyne. The story follows Bruno, the young son of a Nazi commandant, who befriends Shmuel, a Jewish boy imprisoned in a concentration camp. It explores the Holocaust through the lens of childhood innocence and the devastating consequences of prejudice.
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…
The novel contrasts Bruno’s sheltered, naive view of the world with the horrific realities of World War II.
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.
