NW Trilogy: Dance Floor; Life of Riley; Waking/Walking: Modern Plays

Autor Roy Williams, Suhayla El-Bushra, Moira Buffini
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2021
Set amongst the vibrant, intense cacophony of North West London, NW Trilogy is a collection of three vivid stories, told over one performance, that remember and celebrate people who changed the course of history. The personal is political in these soulful explorations of what it means to be part of one of the most dynamic communities in the world.

First, we reel to a dance hall in 'County Kilburn' in Moira Buffini's Dance Floor where the Guinness flows, the music never stops and for homesick Aoife, there's far more at stake than a dance.

In Roy Williams' bittersweet Life of Riley, Paulette is on a journey to connect with her estranged father Riley, a reggae musician once part of the influential Trojan Records scene, who can't seem to let go of the past.

And, Suhayla El-Bushra's Waking/Walking introduces us to Anjali, a wife, mother and newly arrived migrant following Idi Amin's expulsion of the Asian minority from Uganda, who is torn between not making a fuss and seizing her moment to take a stand as the Grunwick dispute unfolds.

NW Trilogy is powerful, funny and epic and shows us how we can change the world from our doorstep.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere as NW Trilogy at Kiln Theatre, London, in August 2021.

Recenzii

These three short plays each address the lives of immigrants and their families in and around Kilburn in the Sixties and Seventies. Do you need to be a northwest Londoner to be drawn into them? Happily the playwrights Moira Buffini, Roy Williams and Suhayla El-Bushra pull off the tremendous feat of telling local stories with universal resonance.
NW Trilogy is powerful in its storytelling and unified in its spirit, giving us a melting-pot Brent with emotional depth beneath the humour.
Two are absolute diamonds, perfection evocations of life and love; one is a fascinating exploration of a famous historical event. All are absolutely engrossing.
Warm-hearted anthology of short plays celebrates diverse stories from London's recent past
