3pm at New Wolsey Theatre
An exciting family show inspired by real-life skateboarding sisters!
Fatima and Salima are the closest, coolest, hijab-wearing step sisters in all of Bradford and nothing is going to stop them from winning the Tiny is Mighty skateboarding competition. With their eyes on the prize and their boards under their feet, they are unstoppable. That is, until they overhear whispers in the kitchen… their parents might be splitting up. Suddenly, everything is at risk – their friendship, their family, and their dream. Only the greatest super-plan ever concocted can keep them together and on track for victory.
Sisters 360 is a funny, heartfelt and high-energy new play written by Asif Khan, inspired by the real-life “Hijabi Sisters” from Hull – three skateboard-loving siblings who have challenged stereotypes and inspired countless others, following in the footsteps of their hero, Olympic medallist Sky Brown. With skateboarding tricks, sibling banter and a whole lot of heart, this uplifting story explores the power of family, friendship and resilience in the face of change.
The show is about courage, creativity and the determination to hold on to what matters most. It’s a story about finding strength in teamwork, navigating life’s challenges, and daring to dream big even when the ground beneath you feels unsteady. The play also gently opens up conversations about family life, separation and how children discover their own voice when faced with change.
Perfect for ages 8–12 (and anyone who remembers being that age), Sisters 360 is joyful and inspiring – a celebration of skateboards, sisterhood and standing proud.
