Noughts and Crosses - Nick Hern Edition

An electrifying, bitter-sweet love story with echoes of Romeo and Juliet, set in a society divided by racial bigotry and a world rocked by terrorism

Sephy (a Cross) is the daughter of the Deputy Prime Minister

Callum is the son of a Nought agitator

Adapted from Malorie Blackman's best-selling novel

REVIEWS

"I wanted to turn society as we know it on its head, with new names for the major divisions, i.e. Noughts (the underclass) and Crosses (the majority, ruling society)" ~ Malorie Blackman

'Dominic Cooke's excellent adaptation ... a dark, politically unsentimentalised story about teenage love transcending the barriers in a deeply divided society ... heart-rending' ~ Independent
