'Oroonoko' was first written as a novel by Aphra Behn  and published in 1688, but is better known through its subsequent history in the version dramatised by Thomas Southerne in 1695. It is based upon Behn's travels to and perceptions of Surinam, and encapsulates the perceptions and debates around colonialism of the era. Music by various composers has become associated with the play itself, or at least its themes, including a couple of suites by Henry Purcell , and the performance will intersperse dramatic monologues with musical interludes. This performance will take place as a contribution to Black History Month.
