Summary
Based on an original new story by J.K.
Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack
Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story
in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter
story to be presented on stage. The play received its world
premiere in London’s West End on 30th July 2016. It was
always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much
easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of
Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While
Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it
belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight
of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse
ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth:
sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places. This Special
Rehearsal Edition will be available to purchase until early
2017, after which a Definitive Edition of the script will go on
sale.
