An electrifying, bittersweet love story with echoes of Romeo and
Juliet, set in a society divided by racial bigotry and a world rocked
by terrorism. Adapted from Malorie Blackman's best-selling novels.
Sephy (a Cross) is the daughter of the Deputy Prime Minister. Callum
is the son of a Nought agitator. United by a shared sense of injustice
as children, and separated by intolerance as they grow up, their
desire to be together begins to eclipse all family loyalty –
sparking a political crisis of unimaginable proportions. 'I wanted to
turn society as we know it on its head, with new names for the major
divisions, i.e. Noughts (the underclass) and Crosses (the majority,
ruling society)' - Malorie Blackman 'Dominic Cooke's excellent
adaptation... a dark, politically unsentimentalised story about
teenage love transcending the barriers in a deeply divided society...
heart-rending' - Independent
