The award-winning dance-theatre show portrays one woman's extraordinary journey.

When one woman tells of her journey to overcome the brutality of slavery, she becomes a beacon for the British anti-slavery movement. Her book had an electrifying effect on the abolitionist movement, helping free many Africans in bondage.

Mary Prince was the daughter of a House slave. Mary’s narrative gives us a rare insight into her life as an enslaved person. We learn of moments of love, conflict and some of the intricacies of chattel slavery that are seldom heard. She gives us her words and thoughts on how it felt to be enslaved, owned, bought and sold.

“Mary’s story is one of the most unassuming heroines. Her strength and resilience to stay alive through the horrors of British chattel slavery, to fall in love, to work for her freedom and share her story to help bring slavery to an end was a huge achievement for an enslaved West Indian woman in 1831. I feel humbled to tell her story.” – Writer of the show, Amantha Edmead

Through theatre, song, music, drumming and dance, come and see this masterpiece of Black British theatre inspired by the storytelling traditions of the West African Griot.
