War. Two twins. Childhood.
Torn away from their parents, they are taken from a bombed-out city to a remote village where their strict grandmother lives.
In a world that does not belong to children, the twins undergo a harsh coming-of-age, discovering they must harden both body and mind in order to survive. They document their journey  and the people they encounter along the way, in their large shared notebook.
As the world grows ever more threatening and dangerous for children, the bond between the twins tightens, merges, and becomes inseparable.
This is a story about the devastating price of adapting to a world driven by power and control.
A price almost too heavy to bear.
The Notebook is an award-winning novel by Agota Kristof, adapted for the stage.
