It’s the summer of 2005, England prepare to win the Ashes and Ismail (Smiley to his friends), a British Indian schoolboy, is about to become the youngest-ever player in his elite public school’s First XI cricket team.

He sets his sights on immortality, breaking the school batting record and getting his name into Wisden. But things are about to heat up.

From award-winning playwright maatin, Duck is about adolescence, the pressures of sporting competition and finding your identity in an environment that doesn’t cater for difference.

Produced by Broccoli Arts

An affecting tale of discrimination dismissed as banter feels particularly profound…It could not feel more topical.

The Guardian

The play is so entertaining yet hits hard when it needs to.

Broadway World

A sweet and playful, but powerfully relevant piece of theatre.

Theatre Weekly

At a captioned performance the words are displayed on a screen (or screens), placed near the stage or in the set and can be seen at the same time as they are spoken or sung.
