This award-winning play tells the powerful true story of Mende Nazer, a girl whose childhood in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains was stolen when she was enslaved and trafficked to London. Performed by a talented ensemble of eight actor-musicians, the production blends storytelling, music, and dance to portray Mende’s joyful early life, her resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship, and the beauty of Nuba culture.

As the play reveals the horrors of modern slavery, it also celebrates Mende’s indomitable spirit, urging us to reflect on the meaning of freedom in a world where millions remain enslaved.
