When Swallows Cry (13 YEARS +)

When Swallows Cry is a trilogy of playlets that explores the inequities and layered complexities of contemporary global mobility, particularly from African perspectives. Once forced to “migrate” as slaves, Africans are now among the world’s least attractive migrants in the wealthy economies of the world, many built – not insubstantially - on African labour and mineral resources. Three actors each play different characters in three stories, set on three continents; the stories are particular to the characters, the themes are universal.
