RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews for 2025 This week we have the return of the stage adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's best-selling novel ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns' to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre with description by Professional Audio Describer Carolyn Smith. About A Thousand Splendid Suns The Rep presents a powerful new production of A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini's spiritual sequel to The Kite Runner. In 1992 in an Afghanistan ravaged by war, an orphaned Laila is left alone in an increasingly threatening world. Her older neighbour Rasheed is quick to open his home and takes Laila as his second wife. Rasheed's first wife Mariam has no choice but to accept her younger, and now pregnant, rival. As the Taliban take over, life for all of them becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear, and the two women find themselves unlikely allies. Former Rep and Hampstead Theatre Artistic Director Roxana Silbert returns to Birmingham to direct this unflinching, life affirming drama, in which love grows and sustains the human spirit even during the hardest of times. Musical inspiration drawn from Afghanistan's 1970s musical heritage, including works by Ahmad Zahir and Abdul Rahim Sarban There are further audio described performances of A Thousand Splendid Suns - Nottingham Theatre Royal - Thursday 22 May, 6.30pm and Saturday 24 May, 2.30pm.  Leeds Playhouse - Friday 13 June, 7.30pm and Saturday 14 June, 2pm.

A viagem de Farid Walizadeh é a Odisseia do século XXI. O Afeganistão num prato: Kabuli * Num livro: O menino de Cabul, de Khaled Hosseini * Num filme: Osama, de Siddiq Barmak * Num lugar: os lagos de Bandi Amir e cidade de Bamyan * Na música de Ahmad Zahir, de Dawood Sarkhosh e de Valy.

Atlantic fellow Bushra Seddique tells the story of the moment everything changed for her in Kabul, and The Atlantic's Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg talks to retired General David Petraeus about the war in Afghanistan and the mistakes made both during his time in command and as the U.S. military withdrew. Background reading: Here is how Bushra Seddique escaped Aghanistan. David Petraeus believes there was another path the U.S. could have taken. A marine and an army veteran make a case that Afghanistan was lost long before the U.S. left. Show credits: in this episode you heard music from Ahmad Zahir and news tape from Al Jazeera.

Ahmad Zahir with his dark shock of hair, sultry voice and overwhelming stage presence more than earned the nickname "The Afghan Elvis". He remains Afghanistan’s most beloved musician even though he died at the age of 33 after a short, dazzling career. Ahmad Zahir was killed in a mysterious car crash in the terrible year of 1979. Monica Whitlock hears a new generation of musicians interpret some Ahmad Zahir classics and explores the life and lasting impact of the "Afghan Elvis".

About: Who do you think you are?  It’s not an easy question to answer. It shouldn’t be. But I’ve tried to get the bottom of it by starting at the top. To introduce this podcast project—Some Noise—the foolish pursuit of life, clarity and context—I’ve decided to report on the story of me.  But why? If this is going to be a show about other people, their lives and purpose, then I think it’s only fair it start with, well, me. Who am I? Where do I come from? What are my values? And where do they come from?  I’ve interviewed family, friends, foes and strangers over the past year and asked them the very basic question—”Who am I?” It’s a four part series about me, according to others, broken up into family, the school years, work life and the outside perspective.

Khaled Hosseini, author of 'The Kite Runner' chooses 'Madar' by Ahmad Zahir and 'Aye Padesha Khuban' also by Ahmad Zahir

Ahmad Zahir är en ikon och en legend som kallats för "kungen av afghansk musik", "den afghanska näktergalen" eller "Afghanistans Elvis Presley". Zahir var den som fick det afghanska folket i alla samhällsklasser att lyssna på musik och det är svårt att hitta någon som varit lika stillbildande som han. Det få vet är att hans historia lever vidare: i Sverige. I en lägenhet i Farsta sitter Abdul Jalill. Under andra halvan av 1960-talet gick han i samma klass på gymnasiet som Ahamad Zahir. I Klassikern berättar han, i en unik intervju, om hur Amhad Zahir blev Afghanistans genom tiderna största artist. Ett program av Simon Moser.

Lördag 12 april Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Nato skickar mer styrkor till Afghanistan, samtidigt hörs varningar om att landet håller på att gå förlorat igen.Men vad vill västvärlden med Afghanistan, och hur väl stämmer de målen med afghanernas verklighet? Natos insats i Afghanistan har gått in på sitt sjunde år, men någon stabilitet i landet är inte i sikte. Nyligen varnade den brittiske politikern Paddy Ashdown, som var tänkt att bli FN:s sändebud i Afghanistan, för att västvärlden håller på att förlora kampen om landet. Några aktuella rapporter om läget i landet: Utrikesminister Carl Bildt och Svenska Afghanistankommitténs Anders Fänge, platschef i Kabul, kommenterar läget i Afghanistan, och diskuterar västvärldens målsättningar i landet.Den brittiske tidigare diplomaten Rory Stewart har skrivit boken ”The Places in Between” om sin vandring genom Afghanistan efter talibanernas fall. Han menar att västvärlden måste omvärdera vilka mål man har för engagemanget i Afghanistan. Idag arbetar Stewart med en stiftelse för återuppbyggnad i Kabul, .Trots att de internationella styrkorna ökar sin närvaro i Afghanistan så ökar också osäkerheten i landet. Farida Nekzad, internationellt prisbelönt journalist och chefredaktör för nyhetsbyrån Pajhwok Afghan News, berättar om stämningarna bland de afghaner hon möter.Läs mer om Farida Nekzad:För trettio år sedan skedde det kommunistiska maktövertagandet i Afghanistan. Det blev inledningen på tre decennier av oroligheter i landet. Amerikanskan Nancy Hatch Dupree har upplevt de stora förändringarna i landet. På 60- och 70-talet stod hon i centrum för det sociala livet i Kabul. Idag oroar hon sig för bristen på kontakt mellan afghanerna och de utländska biståndsarbetarna. Dupree kallas ibland Afghanistans farmor. För knappt två veckor sedan gick finalen av Afghan Star av stapeln. Det var tredje säsongen för programmet som bygger på samma koncept som American Idol och svenska Idol. I år har programmet fått en viss upmärksamhet även i väst, mest på grund av att en av finalisterna var en ung kvinna från det konservativa Kandahar. Konflikt talar med 18-åriga Lima Sahar från det konservativa Kandahar, som nått berömmelse men också blivit hotad pga sin medverkan i tävlingen. Shakeb Isaar har också varit tv-idol i Afghanistan, och ledde några år efter talibanregimens fall ett populärt musikprogram. Att kultur fortfarande är sprängstoff i Afghanistan, visar hans berättelse. Försöken att presentera västerländska artister för en afghansk tv-publik, ledde till att en kollega sköts till döds, och Shakeb själv tvingades fly till Sverige. Isaars egen idol är Ahmad Zahir, klassisk och kontroversiell afghansk sångare på 70-talet. Programledare Agneta Ramberg agneta.ramberg@sr.seProducent Nina Benner nina.benner@sr.se
