Bondage takes place pre-Emancipation on a small island in the Caribbean. With the onset of puberty, Zuri must use her wits to outsmart the twisted desires of a drunken master and a sadistic mistress on a haunted plantation. Hierarchies of race and gender collide in this AfroSurreal tale of an enslaved girl who dares to follow her own instincts toward liberation by any means.

PARENTAL ADVISORY
Bondage contains references to inappropriate non-consensual sexual interactions that some patrons may find challenging.
This production is not recommended for elementary or middle school students. Parent discretion is advised.
