1789. As revolution rages in Europe and the American War of Independence reaches its climax, a black freedom-fighter and a British Naval Officer join forces to redefine racial politics and change attitudes towards slavery forever. Rough Crossings is a powerful and contemporary exploration of themes that resonate through Bristol's cultural past and future.
