The joyful hit play based on the best-selling novel is back!

After delighting audiences across the country, the smash-hit, joyful play based on the best-selling novel by Onjali Q. Raúf is back - a celebration of friendship, kindness and compassion.

"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. An unexpected and often hilarious adventure follows, all topped off with a terrific twist.

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.
