In Noughts and Crosses be transported to a world in which the white underclass called the Noughts are set against the black majority who are called the Crosses. This story is reminiscent in some ways of Romeo and Juliet. It tells of Callum, from a Nought family, and Sephy, from a Cross family, who forge a secret friendship that becomes something more over time. What will happen when Callum is accepted to Sephy's Cross school?
The excellent cast of Noughts and Crosses in London is led by Noah Valentine (Waterloo Road), starring as Callum, and Corinna Brown (Heartstopper), starring as Sephy. The cast also includes Alec Boaden, Amanda Bright, Halle Brown, Elle Davies, Eddie Elliott, Emma Jane Goodwin, Kate Kordel, Jessica Layde, Wela Mbusi, Habib Nasib Nader, Yolanda Ovide, Helena Pipe, Richard Riddell, Ben Skym, and Chanel Waddock.
Noughts and Crosses is a play adapted by Dominic Cooke. The production first premiered in 2007 and received critical and audience acclaim.
As a review from The Independent said, "Noughts and Crosses is one of the finest of this reversal-ploy sub-genre. It refuses to patronise its audience with false consolation, pressing towards the tragic conclusion that's implicit in the material."
This revival's excellent creative team includes direction by Associate Artistic Director Tinuke Craig (A Raisin in the Sun) in her Regent's Park Open Air Theatre debut, movement and intimacy direction by Ingrid Mackinnon (The Importance of Being Earnest), sound design is by Max Pappenheim (The Habit of Art), lighting design by Joshua Pharo (A Raisin in the Sun), set and costume design by Colin Richmond (The Little Big Things), and the composer is DJ Walde (Stranger Things: The First Shadow).
