Description
The Lamplighter by Jackie Kay is a powerful and poignant exploration of the legacy of slavery in Britain. This award-winning poet and Scottish Makar weaves together four distinct voices to tell the story of lives shaped by the brutal institution of slavery. From the fort to the slave ship, from plantations to industrial revolution, the experiences of these women are brought to life through a rich tapestry of words. Confronting themes of loss, violence, and resilience, their stories intersect and overlap in a powerful chorus that speaks to the enduring impact of slavery on individuals and society. A deeply affecting work that remains as relevant today as it was when first performed, The Lamplighter is a stirring tribute to the lives of those who were brutalised by slavery.
