Description

Ti-Jean and his Brothers was Derek Walcott’s first venture into musical plays and is still his most popular work. A lilting St Lucian folk-tale, it tells the story of a poor family who dwells on the edge of a magical forest haunted by the devil’s spirits. The brilliance of Walcott’s writing draws us into the realms of fantasy where the actual and the miraculous collide. Dennis Scott’s An Echo in the Bone is set during a traditional Nine-Night Ceremony held to honor the spirit of the dead. Shattering sequential time in a series of dreamlike episodes the play takes us back to the time of plantations and slavery – and the savage murder of the white estate owner. Who killed Mr. Charles? The answers lie deep in the racial memory, they ‘echo in the bone’. The giddy atmosphere of the carnival is the setting for Errol Hill’s Man Better Man, a rumbustious, colourful comedy musical about stick fighters. With dance and song, the battling troubadours and the calypsonian weave a tale of braver, superstition, and fraudulence. When first performed the Times described it as ‘a blazing electrifying feast of rhythm and colour’.
