Kingston 14: Modern Plays

Autor Roy Williams
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mar 2014
Set in modern-day Jamaica, Kingston 14 follows the story of James, a black British police officer, who is sent to Kingston to investigate the murder of an English tourist in a local hotel. Tied to Jamaica by his father who was born there, James struggles to lead a proper investigation when gang leader, Joker, is brought into custody. The play comes to a climax when two police officers are kidnapped, uncovering corruption hidden in a corner of the sun-bleached island.

Roy Williams's police-corruption drama received its world premiere at Theatre Royal Stratford East, London - where Williams's first play, The No Boys Cricket Club, was produced in 1996 - on 28 March 2014, starring Goldie as Joker.

Recenzii

It feels like a mash up of Reservoir Dogs and early Guy Ritchie in its verbal dexterity and fetishisation of linguistic brutality . . . A fierce and intelligent play.
a surging in-yer face power...Kingston 14 is a compelling play
Kingston 14 is urgent, explosive and wholly intelligible...it gives us lives and language scarcely ever seen on the stage
there's something about its rumbustious macho energy, fast-talking authenticity and noble intentions
Williams probes the blurred lines between those on the street and those on the beat, shifting between lament and defiant celebration as he ponders the future of the country
Spirited, raging drama
a zingy...piece of storytelling that gives previously unheard voices space to brawl
killingly funny
bold and free flowing...an old fashioned cop drama packed full of gangsters, guns and drugs
Roy Williams' fizzing new cop show . . . Williams spins a very good yarn and the play is peppered with comic misunderstandings and outrageously rude gags . . . a gripping and sympathetic portrayal of a country toiling to find its future and of men struggling to find a role.
Kingston 14 has guts, wit . . . Williams writes with uncompromising conviction.
. . . a riot of skittering one-liners and hilarious switchback exchanges. . . . There's a fierce and intelligent play here . . .
