Escape from the typical weather conditions displayed by the UK, and into the
island paradise of Trinidad.
The Drum is pulling the curtains back to
reveal the fiery Caribbean sun beaming down on two calypsonians. For only
£4, take in some Rum and Coca Cola for its opening night on 28th or the 29th or 30th of October
2010, plus attend the post-show discussion with
Don Warrington and more.(only on the opening night)
A story of a teacher and his calypso apprentice, Rum and Coca Cola is a gently
humorous, bittersweet tale written by the fine dramatist,
Mustapha Matura. The two characters,
Slim and Professor survive on their ‘refreshment capital’, living at the end of
the beach amongst driftwood, fallen coconut trees and empty rum bottles. And
as Professor ‘speechifies’ about his life, one that’s been lost and stolen, Slim
tries to grasp a brighter future.
The post-show talk on opening night will probe further into the play, and is
attended by director Don Warrington, playwright Mustapha Matura, musical
director Dominique Legendre, and Dr. Bob Ramdhanie, the expert in
Trinidadian music.
What people are saying...
"Overall this play was a celebration of Trinidadian styles, culture and traditions, much of which should hold a place in any society. The humour wasn’t side-splitting but a gentle reminder of the values of that society and the inexplicable realisation that the older generation should be valued."
