Refugee Boy

Following success on its opening in 2013, West Yorkshire Playhouse is touring Benjamin Zephaniah’s powerful novel, Refugee Boy.

Adapted for the stage by Lemn Sissay, it charts one boy’s fight for recognition in a realistic, painful, but hopeful picture of the challenges facing a young refugee alone in a strange country.

This adaptation is at Waterside Arts Centre, Sale, Manchester from April 1-3.

Sissay is only holding post-show discussions at a few dates on the tour and one of those is at Waterside along with director Gail McIntyre and members of the cast on April 2.
