I’m very excited about the plays for 2027.

Pantomime, by Nobel-prize winner Saint Lucian Derek Walcott. It’s not a pantomime, but a play about a black Calypso player who works for a retired white British pantomime actor who now owns a guest house in the Caribbean. It’s very funny. 

The others are likely to be:

Migritude by Ugandan Shailja Patel

A Negotiation by Palestinian Hannah Khalil

I Want to Fly by Zimbabwean Thembelihle Moyo

Audience by Vaclav Havel, Czech playwright who was a leader of The Prague Spring, ousting the Russians. He was then president of Czechoslovakia and then of the Czech Republic. There’s definitely a play in all that!

The total performance will be about 100 minutes.
