These three remarkable and sometimes hilarious Jamaican plays speak simultaneously about memory and the present, violence and creativity, belonging and dispossession. They draw on myriad dramatic strategies and their voices, themes and motifs traverse a critical decade in Caribbean society, revealing the deep divisions underlying ideas of nation and enacting alternative visions of community and identity. The plays are Masqueraders by Stafford Ashani; Whiplash by Ginger Knight; and Fallen Angel and the Devil Concubine by Patricia Cumper, Honor Ford-Smith, Carol Lawes, Hertencer Lindsay and Eugene Williams.
