UNCLE TOM'S WAR: Haiti and the Whipping Machine

David Lee Morgan • Professional company

50 minutes•Theatre 3
The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was the beginning of a new age of enlightenment, where every revolution is a part of the world revolution – or else it is a betrayal. Fiery-hot poetry from a London/UK/BBC slam poetry champion. Reviews for previous shows: 'I am awed by Morgan's passion, his humorous yet enraged intellectual appraisal… An energetic, clever, passionate survey of human life' ***** (Time Out) 'One of those rare, passionate performances... bristling with energy and interesting ideas… a bracing crash course in how to 'read history… with a f***ing blowtorch' **** (Scotsman).
