That is what is unbearable. That is why I must be free.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on a true story,\u003ci\u003e Enough of Him\u003c\/i\u003e explores the life of Joseph Knight, an African man enslaved by plantation owner Sir John Wedderburn and brought to Scotland to serve in his Perthshire mansion.\u003cbr\u003eHighly favoured by Wedderburn and yet still enslaved, Knight balances on the knife edge between obligation and a soul-deep yearning for freedom. He forges a bond with Annie, a young Scottish servant working in the household, and the two of them fall in love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the walls of Ballindean do not keep secrets — their affair unsettles Lady Wedderburn, whose bitter loneliness is only deepened by the close bond her husband has with Knight. Joseph will endure bondage no longer. What happens when Joseph’s dreams clash with those of the man who owns him? What becomes of us all when past brutalities bleed into our present realities?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by Glasgow-based writer May Sumbwanyambe, this compelling domestic drama is a thrilling exploration of power and its attendant tensions: between those who are enslaved and those who are free, servants and masters, and husbands and wives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition was published to coincide with the world premiere Scottish tour by the National Theatre of Scotland, in October 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57302643310974,"sku":"NW9781350377752","price":13.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781350377752.jpg?v=1778577174","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/enough-of-him","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
