Muscovado: A Slave-Trade Play that Needs Your Support
Muscovado is a play telling the stories of several slaves on a sugar plantation in Nineteenth Century Barbados. Our aim in creating this play was to showcase the voices of those who tend to be ignored, the part of history that the world tends to forget.
This is especially true in Great Britain today, where our economy stands on the suffering of slaves. The sugar we drink in our tea was once stripped from the plantations of the Caribbean. Many got extremely rich from the abuse and neglect of their fellow human beings.
BurntOut Theatre is a young company that has a passion for spreading knowledge and creating inspiring Theatre in the process.
Your money will not only pay for our travel around the UK but it will help educate the younger generation on these issues. We are in partnership with museums and schools to help with our cause.
We aren’t asking for too much, every little helps. We are also giving gifts to those who donate!
