A world away for you, but a world right on your doorstep.

Roadkill starts and ends at Theatre Royal Stratford East and takes you on a journey by minibus to a house somewhere in East London to tell the powerful story of the terrifying complexities of sex trafficking today, based on real experiences.

This award-winning show comes to London after sold-out runs in Paris and Edinburgh and combines direct, chilling performances with video and animation. You'll come face to face with the brutal and hidden truth behind the newspaper headlines as you share the intimate, harrowing details of a young woman trapped in a living nightmare.
