Noughts and Crosses

Pilot Theatre in association with Northern Stage present

Noughts and Crosses

By Malorie Blackman

-

Why love, if losing hurts so much?

Sephy and Callum sit together on a beach. They are in love. 

It is forbidden. 

Sephy is a Cross and Callum is a Nought. Between Noughts and 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 is a captivating drama of love, revolution and what it means to grow up in a divided world.
