CRUSH

At Bristol Old Vic, Bristol · 6 performances from Tue 15 Sept to Sat 19 Sept.

A clinic waiting room. Two Somali teens. One awkward meet-cute. Najma has been in treatment for years. Zakariya’s just starting out. She sketches. He writes poems. Neither of them is ready to talk. Until they meet each other. As their sessions continue, so do the chats. And the jokes. And the secrets. Crush is a tender, funny and honest story about identity, connection and the messy path to healing. Longlisted for the Tony Craze Award 2025.
