C.L.R. James's landmark dramatisation of the Haitian Revolution comes to the stage with a 13-strong ensemble cast. This gripping retelling of the 1791–1804 insurrection—when enslaved Africans rose against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue to establish the world's first independent Black republic—marks the first full London staging of the play since 1986.
Directed by Michael Buffong, the production brings one of the most significant anti-colonial narratives to vivid theatrical life, exploring themes of liberation, resistance and nation-building that remain profoundly relevant today.
