The story of two generations of women activists in the struggle for black liberation in America.
Fringe First Award Winner, performer and playwright, Apphia Campbell (Black Is the Color of My Voice and WOKE) returns to fringe with an expansion of her critically acclaimed show WOKE. Through The Mud is a larger scale reimagining of Campbell’s Scotsman Fringe First Award winning show directed by Stellar Quines Artistic Director, Caitlin Skinner.
Set against a powerful soundtrack of original music and traditional gospel and blues sung live, two women 42 years apart become involved in the struggle for civil rights.
One, notorious Black Panther, Assata Shakur, the other a college student at the beginning of the Black Lives Matter movement in Ferguson in 2014. The show explores what it takes to become a revolutionary.
Joining Campbell for this extended version of her highly acclaimed show, is Tinashe Warikandwa (A Mother’s Song and The Steamie) as Ambrosia, in this powerful story about the African-American experience.
