It’s 1723 and writing while Black could get a girl hanged in Virginia. But the Archbishop of Canterbury lives a very long way away, at Lambeth Palace. Could his Lordship be the man to free the British Empire’s enslaved? And is it worth the risk, dropping him a line? Enjoy epic storytelling in this riveting one-woman play about the anonymous enslaved Virginian who dared, during the transatlantic slavery era, to pen a freedom plea to the head of the Anglican Church. (So... how does she end up in Barbados?)
