Sancho: An Act of Rememberance

Paterson Joseph

2015

This play, written and performed by Paterson Joseph, was first staged in 2015 in Oxford and Birmingham in England and then at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York. In 2018, the play premiered in Lond at Wilton's Music Hall. The play tells something of the life of Charles Ignatius Sancho (c1729-1780) who was born on a slave ship in the Atlantic, orphaned at the age of 2, and then 'gifted' to 3 sisters in Greenwich, England. Sancho lived with the sisters for 18 years then year away. He was taken in by John Montagu who educated the young man. Sancho ended up becoming a shopkeeper and involved in the abolitionist movement. He wrote essays, at least one book and 2 plays, and he composed music.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
