The Miracle

Where: Bute Theatre, RWCMD
July 1789. The eve of the revolution, 237 women, locked up in prisons all over Britain and convicted for prostitution and minor crimes are sentenced to seven years’ transportation beyond the Seas. Their ship is known as the floating brothel. The city that grew from their labour and offspring will be called Sydney, Australia.
This is the story of an extraordinary group of women and their voyage half way around the world. The piece takes its inspiration from personal research and from Sian Rees’s book The Floating Brothel – The Extraordinary True Story of An Eighteenth-Century Ship and Its Cargo of Female Convicts.
– Written & Directed by Firenza Guidi
