More information about Noughts & Crosses
Noughts and Crosses in London is adapted for the stage by Dominic Cooke. Cooke explained that while the story itself is fictional, it's a mirror of the realities of our world. "There's the America of the 1950s, South Africa under apartheid, and in the handling of the Liberation Militia [rebel Noughts], the IRA of the 1970s and Eighties. It's remarkable how the story also speaks to people who have been divided on other than racial grounds," he said.
The play's exceptional creative team includes director Tinuke Craig (A Raisin in the Sun), movement and intimacy director Ingrid Mackinnon (The Importance of Being Earnest), sound designer Max Pappenheim (The Habit of Art), lighting designer Joshua Pharo (A Raisin in the Sun), set and costume designer Colin Richmond (The Little Big Things), and composer DJ Walde (Stranger Things: The First Shadow).
