Theatre studies and archaeology are socio-archival disciplines. Archaeology unearths clues about practices of the past, while theatre and performance often negotiate and represent such practices in a contemporary context (Pearson and Shanks). In Barbados, some dig sites are located on colonial plantations, with found artefacts shedding light on those who suffered during enslavement. With the call for reparations for the injustices endured during that colonial era, this research sits at the intersection of theatre and archaeology, aiming to develop a reparative playwriting practice which uncovers the silenced narratives of enslaved people in Barbados during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

戏剧研究和考古学是社会档案学科。考古学揭示了过去实践的线索，而戏剧和表演经常在当代背景下协商和代表这些实践（皮尔逊和尚克斯）。在巴巴多斯，一些挖掘地点位于殖民种植园，发现的文物揭示了那些在奴役期间遭受苦难的人。随着对殖民时期所遭受的不公正的赔偿的呼吁，本研究将戏剧和考古学结合起来，旨在发展一种修复性的剧本创作实践，揭示跨大西洋奴隶贸易期间巴巴多斯被奴役者的沉默叙述。
