Street sounds and stories find where freedom lives

Speakers’ Corner is a new live music theatre performance, spearheaded by film and music maverick Don Letts that seeks a contemporary response to the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the British slave trade. Seven cutting edge lyricists including rapper and poet Skinnyman, human beatboxer Mad Flow and spoken word artist Malika Booker, will examine the concept of slavery in 2007’s multi-cultural generation. From the experience of political asylum through to the influence of Hip Hop’s bling culture, each writer will question what it means to be free today.
