Descrizione
Two Compelling Plays from Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, Exploring Identity, Culture, and Power Dynamics in the Caribbean This collection features two plays by St. Lucian poet and Nobel Prize winner Derek Walcott. In Remembrance, an eloquent retired teacher grapples with his love for British culture amidst the evolution of his family and community in newly independent Trinidad. "A lyrical, audience-pleasing work" (Variety), "Mr. Walcott is a poet, and his writing is of a quality we seldom hear in the theatre" (The New Yorker). Pantomime, set in Tobago, is a witty, fast-paced comedy exploring master-servant relationships when an English hotel owner suggests he and his black handyman create a satirical Robinson Crusoe performance. "A brilliantly extended set of variations on the master-and-servant relationship" (The Times), the play showcases "gentle wit, immaculately placed irony" (New Statesman) and "dazzling theatrical virtuosity" (Financial Times).
