Queen Elizabeth Hall
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. Raúf, adapted for the stage by Nick Ahad and directed by Monique Touko. A Children’s Theatre Partnership and Rose Theatre production.
