Following the cancellation of VAULT Festival, Omnibus Theatre have announced that the world première production of Ella Dorman-Gajic’s Trade will run at the venue from 15-19 February, as one of 11 productions rescheduled at the venue.

Directed by Maddy Corner, the cast includes Tanya Cubric (Jana), Ojan Genc (Stefan/Nikola) and Eleanor Roberts (Katarina/Elena).

Set in Serbia, Bosnia and the UK, Trade is a thought-provoking, unflinching new play exploring morality and power within the European sex-trafficking industry.

'I could tell you I had no choice. I could tell you I’m innocent. But I know that wouldn’t be completely true’

Jana is on the cusp of adulthood; she’s started dating her first boyfriend and is getting ready to leave war-torn Serbia, to provide for her family. However, when she wakes up in a basement in Bosnia, it becomes clear to Jana that life doesn’t always follow the plans we make for it.

Trade was shortlisted for the 2020 Snoo Wilson Award and Slam Soaps New Writing Competition (out of 1,500 entries). It was developed at Drama Centre London and streamed online to an overwhelmingly positive response. All performances will also be captioned in English and Serbian.

10% of all ticket sales will go to Unseen, a leading UK charity fighting modern slavery.
