Noughts + Crosses: Rose Theatre
31 Jan – 11 Feb
In Noughts + Crosses, Sephy is a Cross and Callum is a Nought. Between Noughts + Crosses there are racial and social divides. A segregated society teeters on a volatile knife edge. As violence breaks out, Sephy and Callum draw closer, but this is a romance that will lead them into terrible danger.
This gripping Romeo and Juliet story by acclaimed writer Malorie Blackman and adapted by Sabrina Mahfouz is a captivating drama of love, revolution and what it means to grow up in a divided world.
