About the play

Meet three women. An unlikely trio. Different ages, backgrounds and attitudes. Each has a unique relationship with the island. A home. A regular holiday haunt. A first time visit. Through language that fizzes and sparks, we begin to discover that they share one surprising thing in common as the women come to terms with the transactions that define who they are.
trade was first performed in 2005 by the Royal Shakespeare Company. New Perspectives brings debbie tucker green's distinctive voice to a regional audience, in association with the Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal.
