Opening this weekend with the most brilliant, talented creative team on board! ‘an extraordinary tale of two Muslim sisters, determined to win in a skateboarding competition, despite life getting in their way.’ - At Polka by the fantastic Asif Khan 🛹.
#Interview: Asif Khan on Sisters 360, playing @polkatheatre from 22 March. "It was my mum-in-law who sent me a news article about three young sisters from Hull who skateboarded, and suggested that there might be a good play in it.". #theatre #TYA.
