Edinburgh Fringe Festival: Emma Thompson

Human Trafficking Dept: Fair Trade follows two girls, one a pretty Albanian village girl and the other a penniless victim of war in a Darfur refugee camp, who are conned into flying illegally to London with promises of the good life, according to Calgary Herald. One of the moving forces behind the campaign is actress Emma Thompson, who encouraged Holbek to write the play and scotland's police have their eye on a play on human trafficking being staged at the Edinburgh Fringe festival to help spotlight the plight of young foreign women exploited as sex slaves. The play was originally co-written by two young women fresh out of drama school, Anna Holbek and Shelley Davenport, who became part of a campaign against sex trafficking which started with a 2007 art installation in London's Trafalgar Square. As reported in the news.
