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.

“Brutal and compelling… be warned this is as uncomfortable a night in the theatre as you’re ever likely to get” –Evening Standard “Intended to raise awareness of child sex trafficking rings and thus has the single-minded focus of issue led-drama. But it is also excellent” –Metro “How to recommend a play that makes an ashen-faced wreck of you? My advice is see Roadkill but take someone along to scrape you off the floor afterwards.” –Sunday Times
