The true story of a girl’s stolen childhood and her journey to freedom.

This exceptional award-winning play tells Mende Nazer’s inspirational story. Set in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan and London (2000) the story of her joyful childhood, and subsequent enslavement is told by an outstanding ensemble of eight international actors as a feast of storytelling, music and dance.

It celebrates Mende’s indomitable spirit, the beauty of the ancient Nuba culture, and as a famine of the inhumanity of modern slavery. Mende’s story transcends borders and her voice beckons us to consider the essence of freedom, and to offer thoughts on how to help the 49.6 million people around the world enslaved today.
