When one woman tells of her extraordinary journey to overcome the brutality of slavery, she becomes a beacon for the British anti slavery movement. Born into enslavement in the British Colony of Bermuda, Mary Prince went on to become an autobiographer and a champion of freedom. Her book had an electrifying effect on the abolitionist movement helping to free many Africans in bondage. Through theatre song, music, drumming and dance this master piece of Black British Theatre is inspired by the storytelling traditions of the West African griots.
