From Manchester to freedom.

Inspired by true events in Black British history, LIBERATION is a powerful new play tracing the private lives of activists who sparked independence movements across Africa.

And of course there's jazz...! Get ready for a brand new composition by Ife Ogunjobi from the Brit Award-winning @EzraCollective

Produced by the Royal Exchange Theatre and our friends over at @factoryintl
