Khadija is 18

Khadija is 18 by Shamser Sinha

Two teenage refugee girls in Hackney face moral dilemmas and an uncertain future, as they strive for legal status in the UK.

"Sinha has a command of the combative staccato rhythms and jabbing wit of streetwise city youth vernacular, and an instinct for dramatic structure.. There’s a tenderness and flair at work here that makes the familiar something special." - London Times "A bracing blast from the immigration frontline…a terrific full-length professional playwriting debut." - Evening Standard "A lively, vivid piece of writing." - Guardian "There’s an admirable honesty in this script." - Daily Telegraph
