'It is very hard to prove my name, it is very hard to prove my age, it is very hard to prove my story in a court of law, it is very hard to prove anything.’
'It is very hard to prove my name, it is very hard to prove my age, it is very hard to prove my story in a court of law, it is very hard to prove anything.’
In Benin City, a young girl struggles to support her family. A world away, in a Glasgow tenement, ‘aunty’ Martha arranges a job and flight for her.
Journey with her on the bus that leads to a new life and discover the nightmare reality behind Martha’s promises.
Based on the experiences of young women trafficked to Scotland, Cora Bissett’s explosive production, combining direct, chilling performances with video, animation and music, thrusts you into the brutal, complex and hidden world behind the newspaper headlines on sex-trafficking.
Not a world away from you, but a world on your doorstep.
Meet at the Tron Box Office to be transported to the production’s off-site location.
Roadkill will premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2010
