Event Date: 
06/04/2023 - 7:30pm to 8:45pm
Venue: 
Exeter Pheonix

After its sell-out success at London's Omnibus Theatre, Ella Dorman-Gajic’s Trade comes to Exeter Pheonix for one exclusive night on 6th April, as part of a UK Tour. Trade explores the fate of a young woman plunged into a perilous underground world, spanning post-war Bosnia to the UK.

Trade was awarded an OffComm by the revered OFFIE Awards, and was hailed as “a thought-provoking and purpose-driven play, portraying the traditionally victimised protagonist in a more realistic light, making her relevant and sympathetic” by North West End.

Devon campaigners will take to the streets of Exeter tomorrow (Saturday 11 October) to raise awareness of the Government’s backing of a secretive trade deal, known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
