Malorie Blackman’s groundbreaking novel Noughts & Crosses is brought vividly to life on stage, telling a gripping tale of love and division in a fractured society.

Lifelong friends who share a deep bond, their relationship is tested when Callum, a Nought, earns a place at Sephy’s prestigious Cross school. As tensions rise and societal pressures mount, their connection is pulled in opposing directions, forcing them to question whether love can truly overcome prejudice.This compelling adaptation, described as “excellent” by The Independent, explores powerful themes of race, privilege, and forbidden love. Inspired by Romeo & Juliet, it presents a deeply personal story set against the backdrop of systemic injustice, asking urgent questions about identity and belonging.
