by [[Mojisola Adebayo]]. The play is inspired by the wonderful true‐life story of Ellen Craft, a 19th century African‐American slave
woman who escaped to freedom in London by
disguising herself as a white man. The play
extends Ellen’s amazing biography into a flight of
theatrical fantasy where upon arrival in Victorian
London she finds work as a sailor on a whaling ship
bound for the Southern Seas. Eventually the ship
arrives in Antarctic waters ripe for gruesome whaling,
and Moj becomes the first ‘Black woman’ to step foot
on Antarctica. It is presented as an intertextual, intercultural, interactive play between physical theatre and film, poetry and photography, biography and fiction, music and movement, storytelling and song. Performed by Mojisola Adebayo, with visuals by Del LaGrace Volcano, physical direction by Sheron Wray, design by Iraqi designer Rajha Shakiry, original score by Nigerian
composer Juwon Ogungbe and lighting by Crin
Claxton. First performed in Britain by [[Oval House Theatre]], the play toured Southern Africa under the auspices of the British Council in 2008. It played at the [[Theatre in the District]], ***
