Description
Includes the plays The White Witch of Rose Hall, The Last Admittance of Man, 48-49, Making Waves, Walk Against Fear and Two Tracks and Text Me The White Witch of Rose Hall explores the horrors of voodoo and slavery. In The Last Admittance of Man Jesus has sought permission from God to see the future. 48-49 looks to the future of black people in Britain. In Making Waves, a West Indian Pentecostal Minister takes on a dispirited circuit of churches within the Welsh community. Walk Against Fear tells the story of James Meredith in 1962, the first African American to attend the University of Mississippi.
