Turf Love Production
Everyman Theatre, Liverpool
9th - 12th March 2016
In March 2016, the fascinating story of one of Liverpool’s forgotten
heroes is finally set to be told in a new play at the Everyman Theatre.
Unsung is a production created by Turf Love and DaDaFest telling the turbulent
and uplifting story of Edward Rushton. After his life was saved by Kwamina,
a freed slave – Rushton made a decision that would change his life
forever. He returned to Liverpool and became an implacable anti-slavery
abolitionist, human rights activist and pioneer for disability rights
but has been unjustly overlooked.
