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
