In 18th-century Jamaica, two enslaved women navigate survival and rebellion amidst colonial turmoil.
The Women of Llanrumney is a powerful exploration of the lives of Annie and Cerys, two enslaved women in 18th-century colonial Jamaica. As the Morgan family faces the potential loss of their plantation, Annie, portrayed by Suzanne Packer, desperately tries to secure her position in the Great House. Amidst a rising storm of rebellion, she confronts the horrors and traumas of her reality. Azuka Oforka’s searing yet witty play delves into the complex experiences of women during slavery—those who benefited, those who were brutalized, and those who fought for freedom—illuminating Wales’s hidden role in this dark chapter of history.
