Winner of the 2018 Alfred Fagon Award ROCKETS AND BLUE LIGHTS is an astonishing new play from one of the UK’s most pioneering playwrights
Winsome Pinnock. Seamlessly weaving the past and the present
together ROCKETS AND BLUE LIGHTS explores Great Britain’s role in the
Trans-Atlantic slave trade from a unique perspective. This World
Premiere production is performed in the Royal Exchange,
once one of the world’s largest cotton exchanges, and examines the
impact of historical legacy and the representation of painful subjects.
Juxtaposing the intimate and the epic, the personal and the political it
invites us to ask what is chosen to be represented
and what is denied. Innovative director Miranda Cromwell makes her Royal Exchange Theatre
debut with this beautifully poetic play powered by love, resilience and
hope. ROCKETS AND BLUE LIGHTS can be seen in the Theatre from
12 March - 4 April.
