She Has A Name

In 2012 burnt thicket theatre, in partnership with Raise Their Voice, will present a 6 MONTH CANADIAN TOUR of SHE HAS A NAME by Andrew Kooman

The tour will engage thousands more people in this compelling story of human trafficking.

Synopsis: Haunted by anguished voices, a lawyer poses as a john to build a legal case against a brothel trafficking girls into Bangkok. Can Jason win the trust of a young prostitute known only as Number 18 and convince her to risk her life to testify for the sake of justice?

In February and March 2011, SHE HAS A NAME premiered in Calgary and Red Deer to sold-out audiences and critical acclaim.  burnt thicket theatre and Raise Their Voice are now partnering to take this life-changing play to cities across Canada in 2012.

Inspired by an event in April of 2008 in which an abandoned storage container was found in Thailand containing 121 workers from Burma, 54 of them dead, Andrew Kooman’s She Has A Name dramatically gives human trafficking a face.
