Annie Besant describes the conditions of the London Match Workers as a kind of white Slavery‚ but does their condition really match those of the slaves brought to the Americas? The conditions of both reflect social debates of their times‚ where human beings were treated as property. I see both parallels and differences between the conditions of Londons working class and the African slaves brought to the AmericasBeginning with the physical conditions of the labor each had to perform‚ many parallels

WPC Jack Thorne’s play ’When You Cure Me’ is based around a fragile character Rachel who is bed ridden for several months after a tragic sexual assault. Rachel’s monologue appears towards the end of the play as an attempt of closure for the character and audience. Thorne chose to the play as a representation of his own struggles that he could not get across personally. With his individual battle with cholinergic uticaria (allergy to all forms of heat)‚ Thorne was bed ridden and angry at the world

He writes
