Reviews
"an astonishing work ... a deeply affecting piece about life on the inside." – WhatsOnStage
"Rex Obano's striking full length debut play... he imbues his hectic scenes of violence, degradation, corruption and exploitation
with frightening authenticity. Nadia Latif's production pulsates with conviction and pent-up passions... as pacy and suspenseful
as a thriller" - The Times
"‘Slaves’- a deeply raw and unflinching tale of cultural and psychological despondency within Wandsworth prison." - The Daily
Telegraph
"The sheer force of the writing and performances make for a riveting experience that is a reminder of what going to the theatre is
all about." – The Stage.
