'I am the slave ship. Wrecked. Empty. I am a shark, livid with the
desire for blood. I am the sea, boiling with fury.' Amid the gloom
of Victorian England, a black sailor, Thomas, prepares to take one
last voyage, while an ageing painter, J.M.W. Turner, seeks artistic
inspiration in a half-remembered story. In twenty-first-century
London, an actress finds herself handcuffed by history - two
centuries after abolitionists won her ancestors their freedom.
Winsome Pinnock's astonishing play retells British history through
the prism of the slave trade. Fusing fact with fiction, past with
present, the powerfully personal with the fiercely political,
Rockets and Blue Lights asks who owns our past - and who has the
right to tell its stories? Winner of the 2018 Alfred Fagon Award,
the play opened at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in March
2020, directed by Miranda Cromwell. 'The godmother of Black British
playwrights' Guardian
