Read the reviews for Baghdaddy, written by Jasmine Naziha Jones and directed by Milli Bhatia, running at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Downstairs through Saturday 17 December 2022.

The Royal Court Theatre has announced a three-year partnership with SISTER, the independent studio and entertainment providers behind content such as the multi-award winning Chernobyl, Landscapers and This is Going to Hurt.

Philip Arditti, Souad Faress, Jasmine Naziha Jones, Hayat Kamille and Noof Ousellam will perform in Baghdaddy, written by Jasmine Naziha Jones and directed by Milli Bhatia.
