Plain Quakers Theatre present Nine Parts a Quaker
The Story of Thomas Clarkson's part in the campaign to end the story of the slave trade
If the nineteenth century abolished slavery why are more than 20 million people enslaved today? To our shame the work of Clarkson and Wilberforce remains unfinished: human trafficking and indentured labour proliferate everywhere. Does our lifestyle make us unwittingly complicit in this?
As we reflect on the courage and tenacity of Thomas Clarkson we ask: Could two ageing grumpies sort the outrage of modern day slavery?
