My Body, My Business
Friday 29 November
School Wynd
6 School Wynd
Paisley
09.30am-12.30pm

'My Body, My Business' written by Tracy Patrick and directed by Rebecca Ritchie-Smith will be performed as part of  'Spot the Signs' a community conversation on the wider subject of modern slavery and human trafficking in all its forms. Click here for details. 
A group of local gossips grow suspicious over the secretive comings and goings in a nearby tenement. Meanwhile, a young woman's fairy tale vision of life in the UK is turning into a nightmare. Will the women be able to help her? My Body, My Business is a thought-provoking portrayal of the issues surrounding sex trafficking.
Special thanks to Ashley Edgar
