The Women of Llanrumney, Paperback / softback Book

The Women of Llanrumney Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

Llanrumney plantation. Saint Mary Parish, Jamaica. 1765. Annie and Cerys are enslaved by the Morgan family from Wales.

When Elizabeth Morgan is faced with the loss of her plantation, the slaves' future hangs in the balance. With a storm of rebellion brewing, Annie does everything she can to secure her future.

But sooner or later she will have to face up to the horror and trauma all around her, including her own. Azuka Oforka's play The Women of Llanrumney is a powerful, searing drama that explores the impact of slavery and the lives of women who experienced it – those who benefitted from it, those who were brutalised by it and those who fought to destroy it.

It premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024, directed by Patricia Logue.
