Giles Terera s eagerly anticipated
The Meaning of Zong will have its theatrical premiere, playing from 11 September to 2 October. The piece explores the early years of the abolition movement.
Terera said: When I first started exploring this story, I felt very strongly that there was a connection between today and the 18th century when these events took place. History isn t just history, it s a continual conversation with the present. It s a play about us, now.
At this moment, there is lot of discontentment, but at the same time there are a lot of people standing up for people who don t look like them or live like them. This play focusses on that –as an individual what is your obligation to your society and community? What are you prepared stand up for? What are you prepared to defend?
