Hot Orange
Amal Khalidi and Tatenda Naomi Matsvai’s highly affecting play for over-13s is about love and basketball, which is poetically described as a “hot orange” whizzing from one pair of hands to another. The hourlong drama has all the pace of the court as it jumps back and forth 10 years to chart the relationship between two girls who meet in primary school. There are touching performances by Matsvai and Yasmin Twomey in this bittersweet delight which is among the offerings from Half Moon theatre.
