BurntOut Theatre

Muscovado is the scorching new play by Matilda Ibini about slavery in Nineteenth Century Barbados. A heady mix of sexual intrigue, piercing choral music and extreme racial tension, Muscovado provides an unflinching portrayal of life on a sugar plantation in 1808, accompanied by an original musical score and atmospheric soundscape.

'A truly visceral experience. The sweat dripping from the bodies of the actors, confessions in candlelight and sacred song combine with some great writing from a promising future playwright' (The British Theatre Guide)

'Really powerful' (BBC Radio 1)

'Stirring. This isn’t theatre for the faint-hearted. Go if you can' (www.FemaleArts.com).
