Humane: A Play

By Polly Creed

1995: Brightlingsea, a small port in rural Essex.

Two women, Alice and Linda, wake up to find lorries thundering through their town, carrying live animals in horrendous conditions for export.

Although from very different worlds, the pair unite to try to stop the lorries. They become unlikely friends, facing arrest and police brutality amidst the protests, while also dealing with the pressures of motherhood. When one of their group dies, things start to unravel, as they are forced to face the differences between them.

Timely and lyrical, Humane is a play about activism, friendship and motherhood and the values that unite and divide us.
