A blackly comical play . . . a story of deceptive appearances . . . Play Mas misdirects us nicely: we've seen a thousand tales of the oppressed becoming the oppressor, yet this one still surprises. * The Times * A deeply and darkly funny exploration of Trinidad before and after the Caribbean island's independence from Britain in 1962. It sweeps you up and leaves you breathless * Time Out London *
