About this event
Fatima and Salima are the coolest hijabi-wearing step-sisters in Bradford. Their dream? To win the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition. Their secret weapon? The strongest sisterly bond imaginable. But when they overhear their parents whispering about living apart, everything is thrown into doubt. Can the girls pull off the greatest super-plan ever to keep their family – and their dream – together?
Written by award-winning playwright Asif Khan and inspired by real-life skateboarders the “Hijabi Sisters” from Hull, Sisters 360 is a funny, heartfelt and high-energy play for 8–12 year olds. Expect skateboarding, sisterhood and a story that champions belonging, resilience and daring to dream big.
Show is followed by a Q&A with the cast and Spark’s brilliantly creative Mega Bosses.
