On Friday night Maeva and I went to see the RSC production 'Noughts and Crosses'. It was adapted from the book by Malorie Blackman, and is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet. The Noughts were white people who had no political voice, little access to education and limited job opportunities. The Crosses were black people who had political and economic power. Callum (a Nought) and Sephy (a Cross) were the two teenagers in love.
The story was very powerful (politically and emotionally) and the production and acting were fantastic. I have been thinking about it since.
