Shvorne Marks stars in The Women of Llanrumney at Theatre Royal Stratford East.
Annie and Cerys are enslaved by the Morgan family from Wales. Their future hangs in the balance when Elisabeth Morgan is faced with losing her plantation. Fearing what could lie ahead, Annie does everything she can to secure her position in the Great House. But sooner or later, with a storm of rebellion building, Annie will have to face up to the horror and trauma, including her own.
Set in 18th century colonial Jamaica, Azuka Oforka’s searing yet witty new play powerfully explores the experience of women during slavery – those who benefited from it, those who were brutalised by it and those who fought to destroy it.
The Women of Llanrumney opens on Wednesday 19th March and runs until April 12th. Tickets can be purchased here
