Rockets and Blue Lights by Winsome Pinnock

The Alfred Fagon Award-winning play that retells British history through the prism of the slave trade.

'A swirling journey through the light and shade of black history'

* Guardian *

'A deep dive into the murky waters of the legacy of Britain's role in the slave trade.. The rich depth of Pinnock's writing... It is an ugly truth, but, somehow, Winsome Pinnock has made it beautiful'

* The Stage *

'Ambitious and complex... beautifully held together by the poetry and quality of Pinnock's writing... an astonishingly beautiful and emotional coup de theatre... conjures the ghosts of the past and makes them powerful and engrossing in a theatre, here and now'

* Whatsonstage *

'Powerful, hard-hitting... urgent and important... also startlingly funny in parts'

* Evening Standard *

'Inspirationally ambitious and all-encompassingly humane... Bravo'

* Independent *

An award-winning playwright, Winsome Pinnock's work has been produced on the British stage and internationally since 1985. She was the first black British female writer to have a play (Leave Taking) produced by the National Theatre.
