Frederick Douglass in Exeter. A collaborative film with Riversmeet. [2024/25]
Unearthing a Hidden History
In 2005, Riversmeet's Richard Bradbury found a surprising reference to the visit of escaped slave and leading abolitionist Frederick Douglass to Exeter in 1846 in a copy of the Exeter Flying Post held in the Devon and Exeter Institution. At the time, Richard was working on a play about Douglass commemorating the 200th anniversary of the end of the transatlantic slave trade, performed at City Hall in London and the Hackney Empire in 2007. However, this intriguing reference to Douglass’s visit continued to simmer on his creative back burner.
