THE DARK is currently the central part of DARK HERITAGE, which is touring the UK over 2007 and 2008 to mark the Bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Please go to the Dark Heritage website for more details of tour locations and bookable educational activities for schools and community groups.

The current Dark Heritage location is Zion Arts Centre in Manchester. Use this link to find out what's on offer!

Funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and Arts Council England, Dark Heritage is a fantastic opportunity for people to engage in a range of free drama activities exploring our heritage.


How can you, who have felt the oppressor's hard hand,

Who for freedom, all perils would brave,

How can you enjoy peace, while one foot of your land

Is disgraced by the toil of a slave!



Extract from American Independency by Edward Rushton
