'This story showed me who I am and what I must do.' Over two
hundred years ago, Olaudah Equiano changed the world. After reading
reports of the British ship Zong, where 132 enslaved Africans were
thrown overboard, he joins forces with anti-slavery campaigner
Granville Sharp and together they set in motion events which will
go on to galvanise the abolition movement. But Olaudah's
impassioned fight for justice goes beyond the courtroom. Having
bought his own freedom, he now faces a personal battle to
rediscover his past and accept his true self. Weaving together the
many lives affected by these events across the globe, The Meaning
of Zong is both a depiction of a shameful true story from British
history, and a timely response to the social upheaval the world has
witnessed in recent years - celebrating the power of individual
action to drive huge societal change. Giles Terera's debut play was
commissioned by Bristol Old Vic and the National Theatre, and first
performed on stage at Bristol Old Vic in April 2022, co-directed by
Tom Morris and Terera, after an acclaimed production on BBC Radio
3.
