More about The Boy at the Back of the Class

The smash-hit play based on the best-selling novel is back for a strictly limited run. See this celebration of friendship, kindness and compassion at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

There was always an empty chair at the back of the class, until Ahmet arrived. He’s nine years old, just like his classmates, but he never talks, never smiles, and doesn’t even like sweets.

When the children discover that Ahmet is a refugee who has fled a war-torn country, they come up with the ‘Greatest Idea in the World’: a bold plan to reunite him with his family.

Told through a child’s eyes, The Boy at the Back of the Class is a moving and often funny story about friendship, kindness, and bravery, reminding readers that everyone deserves safety, hope, and a place to call home.

View Seating Plan

Queen Elizabeth Hall reopened in April 2018 following almost three years of renovations with world class, environmentally-improved new facilities for audiences and artists. The building is also home to Purcell Room a smaller, more intimate space.

The design led by architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (FCBStudios), focused on refurbishing the auditoria, foyer and artists’ back of house facilities. Improved access, ventilation and lighting systems, and new production infrastructure enhance the experience for audience and performers alike. New leather upholstery revitalises the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room’s distinctive and comfortable seating.

The building was originally opened in March 1967 by Her Majesty the Queen and this historic restoration has been made possible through generous support from Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund, thanks to National Lottery players, and through Southbank Centre friends, trusts and foundations supporting the Let The Light In campaign.
