Noughts and Crosses
By Malorie Blackman | Adapted by Sabrina Mahfouz

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 and between Noughts and Crosses there are racial and social divides.

A segregated society teeters on a volatile knife-edge, and 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.

“A dynamic, powerful, compelling show, whatever your age.”
