The Show
After delighting audiences across the country, the smash-hit, joyful play based on the best-selling novel is back with a celebration of friendship, kindness and compassion.

There used to be an empty chair at the back of the class, but now a new boy called Ahmet is sitting in it.

He's nine years old (just like me), but he's very strange.

He never talks and never smiles and doesn't like sweets - not even lemon sherbets, which are my favourite!After learning that he has fled his own war-torn country, Ahmet's classmates have 'The Greatest Idea in the World' - a magnificent plan to reunite Ahmet with his family.

Told from a child's perspective, balancing heart and humour, The Boy at the Back of the Class highlights the power of good friends and courage in a world that doesn't always make sense and reminds us that everyone needs a place to call home.

Based on the book by Onjali Q.

Rauf, adapted for the stage by Nick Ahad and directed by Monique Touko.
