What a wonderful culmination of
30 amazing years...
This multi-award winning play stands alongside the greats of the 21st century.
Set in the beautiful Nuba Mountains of Sudan, Mende (12) is taken from her family by raiders and enslaved for seven years, then trafficked to London in 2000 by a diplomat where she finally manages to escape. The show is an inspiring celebration of the ancient Nuba culture and tells one girl's story of hope and courage in the face of adversity. It is told by 9 international actors as a feast of storytelling, music and dance. It bursts the myths of modern slavery and audiences described it as 'an amazing night at the theatre' that inspired them to make a difference. Mende is free now - a remarkable young woman who works as a nurse.

‘Slave: A Question of Freedom’ does not shrink from reality, it is a powerful personal story and a clarion call on behalf of all victims of slavery and trafficking today... Spy In The Stalls **** 4Stars
