African Snow is the meeting of two men, cast from opposite sides into the hell of the slave trade - Olaudah Equiano, stolen from his home in West Africa, and John Newton, the converted slave-trader who later gave the world its most famous hymn, Amazing Grace.

Bringing them face to face, however, is perhaps beyond the scope of human reason. Can victim and abuser ever be reconciled? African Snow takes us to the heart of the human condition to the place where two men are compelled to confront each another.

This major national tour marks the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act
and lends its voice to the campaign for the abolition of modern slaveries worldwide.


African Snow is a co-production
