We Need New Names – Northern Stage

Paradise. Home of 10-year-old Darling and her friends. A playground overflowing with mischief and games where they imagine countries a luxurious life away from theirs in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe.

But when Darling moves to Michigan, the western world she encounters as a teenager is far from the American utopia of her dreams…

This witty and moving story is based on the novel by NoViolet Bulawayo – the first Black African woman and first Zimbabwean to be Booker Prize-shortlisted. It is a defiant coming-of-age story full of exuberance, humour and humanity.
