Reviews

Nyla Levy’s play about London schoolfriends, divided when one goes to Syria, is savvy, streetwise and energetic
*Guardian*

It was an incredibly accurate representation. Spot on. For me it was deeply moving
*Tasnime Akunjee, Terrorism Defence Lawyer*

Strong, very honest, disarming, real & fresh voice
*Lyric Hammersmith*

It is a beautifully written play … ‘Prevent’ is a big aspect of schools safeguarding and this play provides an interesting way to explore this with students, making it clear the dangers of grooming and how easily something like this can and does happen. Hard-hitting and well written, this is well worth purchasing and exploring with your students.
