Until March 5 - 'Two Billions Beats' tells the upbeat story of British Asian teenage sisters Asha and Bettina.

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.
