Hannah & Hanna tells the story of a teenage asylum seeker in Margate who becomes friends with a local girl of the same age. They bond over a mutual love of pop music and develop a friendship that transcends the bigotry surrounding them.

Pop mad Hannah likes to sing karaoke, especially when it's Britney Spears. What she doesn't like is that Kosovotch Hanna is stealing her thunder on her favourite song. Hannah doesn't know that she and Hanna will become friends against all odds.

Hannah and Hanna

Hannah and Hanna is a critically acclaimed play from Olivier Award Winning writer and director John Retallack, and was described as a 'must-see' in its recent Edinburgh Festival run. It's tough, funny, tense, topical, and moving. Hannah and Hanna explores the idea that the common interests of these girls can outweigh their differences, especially when the two sides find a way to communicate. It has been described as 'bold, politically committed, and brilliantly aware.'

Translated into four languages, Hannah and Hanna has been performed all over the world including Sweden, Israel, Belgium and France.

The production was nominated for the TMA/Barclay Award for Best Play for Young People in 2002 and plays at the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool between 11th to 15th November 2003. Tickets are £12 with concessions £6. Call the box office on 0151 709 4776.
