★★★★ “Powerful” – The Stage
Set in five prisons across five decades, LINES explores the threads that tie a group of seemingly disconnected individuals.
Selected as one of @guardianculture's Best Theatre Tickets to Book for 2024 - catch it here before it heads to New York!

Lines was a tough but rewarding watch, and one which left the audience with much to consider, discuss and process long afterwards. Its nonlinear approach worked well. @nowthenmag on @rootsmbili’s recent play, #Lines nowthenmagazine.com/live-rev…

Derby, Harrogate & Scarborough theatregoers - a real gem of a 70 min play is heading your way. 👏
I caught @rootsmbili 's Lines @cruciblethembatre & it's a gripping & ambitious piece of theatre; political, urgent & vital. @thesjt

Thought provoking and beautiful production - love, war, colonial history, shared experiences, difference and coming together. Simple but striking choreography.
It’s on for the next week at @crucibletheatre
And Arthur Miller’s The Crucible matinee today. #Shefffield
