Created in conjunction with Gloucestershire Archives and the Museum In the Park, Stroud, as part of a virtual exhibition to commemorate the bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade, Inhuman Traffic involves different performances for public and schools looking at the history and modern perspectives of slavery.

This 4 person performance for the public looks at 4 different characters associated with slavery. These are:

The four characters each relate their own stories which interweave to give an overview of slavery and associated issues and an opportunity to compare historical and modern day slavery.

Inhuman Traffic is also available as a special conference day for older secondary school pupils in Gloucestershire. This includes a special performance of Inhuman Traffic, accompanied by workshops focussing on slavery today and human rights. Costs for this event vary according to the workshops, please contact us for further details.
