Written by Paterson Joseph, the play explores the life of Charles Ignatius Sancho. Sancho was born on a slave ship on the Atlantic Ocean in 1729, yet he became a writer, composer, shopkeeper and respected ‘man of letters’ in 18th century London and the first man of African heritage to vote in Britain.
