The Boy at the Back of the Class (Discounted Offer)

Park Pl, Cardiff, CF10 3LN

This show is for over 7's only. ID may be required at the door.
Description

Important: This listing is for a voucher, not a ticket. The voucher allows you to purchase a ticket at a discounted price through a third-party website. You must buy the voucher first and then complete a separate ticket purchase (see details in the pricing information section below).

After delighting audiences across the country, and now with a Best Family Show Olivier Award nomination, the smash-hit, this joyful play based on the best-selling novel is back with 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.
