Interfaith Children's Advocacy Network Play Analysis
I attended a play that was created to raise awareness about the human trafficking epidemic in society today. This play was written by Members of blank slate theatre In Partnership with Interfaith Children’s Advocacy Network. The title of the play is “bottom.” It was given this name because “bottom” is the term given to a female appointed by the trafficker or pimp to supervise the others and report rule violations. This female is given the power to instruct victims, collect money, book hotel rooms, post ads, or inflict punishments on other girls. This play was focused on a “bottom” who went to the police station to help the police find the man who was once her pimp and a girl named “Coco” who was another victim.

The voice that the actor used who was portraying Amber was more of an ebonics sounding language. This helped the audience to understand the background of this character better. This helped the audience to grasp the kind of people she was around during her time with the trafficker. The voices of the law enforcement were both very strong and distinct. This helped the audience understand that they were very serious about exposing the trafficker to save the victims he had taken. The voice of one of the other victims who was very younger expressed the fear and uncertainty the girl had as she was being forced in to this life style. In the audience there were periods when I could hear the audience shuffling or moving things around. However, when a very intense part of the play was occurring not a single distracting sound could be heard.
The significance of this play was to bring about awareness of the horrible injustice that human trafficking is. In this part of Wisconsin, I believe that people tend to forget how huge of a problem human trafficking is. In some cities in the world it has become an epidemic. Average everyday people like each of us become victims to traffickers every single day. This is even more of a problem for those who live in harsh environments and cannot take care of themselves. The creators of this play have a goal of showing people about the problem so that we can all start to work together to end this
