Review: JAJA'S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING, Lyric Hammersmith
by Mica Blackwell - Mar 30, 2026
**** 'It would be hard to not fall for the charm of Jaja’s African Hair Braiding. A celebration of femalehood, Black culture and community, it’s filled with a vibrant joy and celebration in part thanks to a cast who share a wonderful chemistry. As client Jennifer says, it’s like being at home for the day watching their 12-hour day unfold.'

Review: THE BOY AT THE BACK OF THE CLASS, Rose Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Feb 12, 2026
Today we are wearily familiar with the terms 'Stop the Boats' and the narrative that all refugees are coming to Britain to take 'our' jobs, scam us for benefits and prey upon young girls. Nick Ahad's adaptation of Onjali Q. Raúf's beautiful book, The Boy at the Back of the Class, takes much of the political heat out of the issue with a hopeful and very human production for all ages.
