Orange Tree

Bookings are being taken for world premiere of Two Billions Beats, which tells the upbeat story of British Asian teenage sisters Asha and Bettina.

Seventeen-year-old Asha is an empathetic rebel, inspired by historical revolutionaries and iconoclasts Sylvia Pankhurst and BR Ambedkar. She's unafraid of pointing out the hypocrisy around her but less sure how to actually dismantle it.

Meanwhile, her younger sister, Bettina, wide-eyed and naïve, is just trying to get through the school day without getting her pocket money nicked.

Bouncing with wit, Sonali Bhattacharyya's upbeat new play is a coming-of-age story about the unfairness of growing up in a world where you don't make the rules.

Thursday - Inspirational adventurer and endurance cyclist Emily Chappell discusses her acclaimed books and remarkable life story at her first-ever live event in Twickenham.

In 2016, she cycled 4000km in 13 days, from Belgium to Turkey, riding day and night to become the first woman home in The Transcontinental race.
