UNCLE TOM'S WAR: Haiti and the Whipping Machine


David Lee Morgan

The story of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) in the context of the American and French Revolutions and the war against slavery. Fiery-hot poetry from a London, UK and BBC slam champion, David Lee Morgan. For previous shows: 'I am awed by Morgan's passion, his humorous, yet enraged, intellectual appraisal… An energetic, clever, passionate survey of human life' ***** (Time Out). 'One of those rare, passionate performances... bristling with energy and interesting ideas… a bracing crash course in how to read history… with a f*cking blowtorch' **** (Scotsman).
