The Plumber. Rebirth of a nation.April 20th, 2010Does ‘The Plumber’ in particular, and roots plays in general, deserve the unsavory reputation the supposed intelligentsia have given it? |
Puppy Love. Oliver, with a twist.April 14th, 2010For those keeping count, Puppy Love is the fourth recent production to feature a May-December romance. Why are our playwrights preoccupied with this particular taboo? |
Me and Mi Chapsie. Citizen as performer, society as stage.November 6th, 2009In Aston Cooke’s world, to be Jamaican is to be a performer. His new play, Me and Mi Chapsie, is a humourous treatise on that idea. |
PSSST!/dark diaspora.October 30th, 2009Edna Manley’s twin short plays were let down by their architects, not by the bright-eyed, bustling students who performed them. Does the school know what role it is playing? |
Two Can Play.October 19th, 2009Rhone captures, like a photographer, a time-lapse portrait of the Jamaican marriage in collapse, squashed into the two-hour confines of modern drama. |
