The Boy at the Back of the Class: The Play
A Rose Theatre & Children's Theatre Partnership Production
2026 UK TOUR NOW COMPLETE!

THANK YOU to every child, parent, grandparent, teacher, TA, theatre-lover and book-whisperer for gracing the play of The Boy at the Back of the Class with your presence, care, passion and love.
Regardless of you saw the play in 2026 or 2024, we hope its legacy will go on helping to inform and change mindsets about our world's refugees, and undo the rhetoric of racist hate currently surrounding those who have been forced to leave their homes, lands and families in search of safety and a right to Life.
On behalf of all the cast, crews, producers, writers and directors, THANK YOU for also helping to make our play an Olivier Award winning play!
It all starts with each of You.
And the courage to listen, feel and mobilise.
Winner of the Olivier for Best Family Show
