Theatre: , Fringe, Tragedy

How Much: £12.00 (Tickets) , £10.00 (Concessions)

Theatre company Shatterbox have created a powerfully engaging play through the stories of two survivors of sex trafficking.

Bluntly and honestly re-telling their stories, Fair Trade, directed by Lotte Wakeham, uses touches of humour, music and dance to highlight the plight of the women forced into the sex trade.

When asked about the script, actress Emma Thompson said "it's one of the best I've seen in years". She is backing this project as it tours with previews from Latitude festival to London's Rich Mix and then on to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Clich here for a full preview.
