Synopsis:

A world away from you, but a world right on your doorstep.

A powerful story of the terrifying complexities of sex trafficking today based on real experiences. Moving away from generalised narrative accounts of trafficked women, this explosive, site-specific production combines direct, chilling performances with video and animation. RoadKill exposes the brutal and hidden truth behind the newspaper headlines as audiences share in the intimate, harrowing details of a young woman trapped in a living nightmare.

Roadkill could change lives for the better and nobody could ask for more from a theatrical piece. All involved should be congratulated on their vision and humanity." – British Theatre Guide

"Beautiful, brilliant and powerful enough to break into people’s hearts. There is no counting the ways Roadkill shatters, disturbs and challenges us.” – Five Stars The Scotsman

"It’s uncomfortable, vivid, nauseating and induces fist-clenching anger. But it’s also brilliant, sobering, frank, very moving, and, unfortunately, a real snippet of British society" – What’s On Stage

“Brutal and compelling” – Evening Standard

"Immersive theatre at its most powerful" 4 stars – Financial Times

"Sears itself onto your conscience. It is a desperate and anguished scream that refuses to recede quietly...one of the most gut-wrenching experiences I have ever had in the theatre. Cora Bissett’s explosive production never lets us off the hook for a moment. Not only are we – good little liberals all – implicated in the form of a gentle middle-class punter, who shows a trace of kindness to Mary but still makes use of her, Roadkill leaves no excuse for ignorance. This, after all, is not taking place in the empty space of a theatre, but in the heart of the city most of those watching call home." – Culture Wars
