"Nobody Knows".  Written and directed by Mervyn Weir. 

This powerful, uplifting and uncompromising theatrical experience will take you on the journey of the Transatlantic slave trade - from deepest Africa, to the law courts of England; from capture to abolition; from obscurity to celebrity.  "Nobody Knows" addresses both the history of the Transatlantic slave trade and some of the issues which are being dealt with today that have its roots in slavery; issues of skin colour and its effect on Black identity, the role of the Christian church in enslavement and liberation, and the part played by Blacks in their emancipation.  See the many 'shades of Black', hear the stories of enslaved Africans, feel the power of their music, experience uplifting theatre.  The Drum Theatre Birmingham, 25-29 September, 144 Potters Lane, Birmingham B64UU.
