Dizzy
By Mohamed-Zain Dada
A fantastical odyssey of grief, love, unexpected heroes and painting the town red (literally).
We are thrilled to announce that the world premiere of Dizzy by Mohamed-Zain Dada will tour UK schools and theatres in Autumn 2024, in a major new co-production with Sheffield Theatres.
When 15-year-old Qamar’s older brother dies in a tragic accident, nothing in her world makes sense anymore. Then she meets her brother’s friend and mentor, Stax, the infamous graffiti artist. As he introduces Qamar to the clandestine world of street art, she unravels secrets of grief, love, and a mystical underground realm called 'the axis.' Soon Qamar finds herself on an odyssey of loss, memories, art, and unbreakable bonds that defy mortality.

For the past 12 months, our award-winning Resident Writer, Mohamed-Zain Dada, has been collaborating with hundreds of young people across the nation through our Future Makers process. He listened closely as they shared their experiences, perspectives, and stories on the things that matter (and a few that don’t).
These conversations have inspired a captivating and cross-cultural story exploring the fine line between remembering and moving forward. A daringly original fantasy adventure, created with and for teenagers.
Over the next few months, Mohamed-Zain will continue to work on the script with the young people.
