Noughts & Crosses (DOMINIC COOKE/RSC VERSION) (NHB Modern Plays)

With echoes of Romeo and Juliet, Noughts and Crosses is an electrifying, bittersweet love story set in a society divided by racial bigotry and a world rocked by terrorism. Sephy (a Cross) is the daughter of the Deputy Prime Minister. Callum is the son of a Nought agitator. United by a shared sense of injustice as children, and separated by intolerance as they grow up, their desire to be together begins to eclipse all family loyalty sparking a political crisis of unimaginable proportions. Dominic Cooke’s thrilling stage adaptation of Malorie Blackman’s hugely successful novel was premiered by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2007. Please note that the adaptation of Noughts & Crosses by Sabrina Mahfouz (premiered by Pilot Theatre in 2019) is also published by Nick Hern Books and available on Amazon. – ASIN: 1854599399 | ISBN13: 9781854599391 | ISBN-13: 978-1854599391
