Description
Del and Viv are struggling to find their place in the world. Del's restless spirit and Viv's search for identity lead them to a traditional Caribbean soul-healing session with their mother, Enid. As secrets are revealed, the boundaries between their cultures and countries begin to blur.
Winsome Pinnock's play Leave Taking is a powerful exploration of what we leave behind in order to find home. With its rich and nuanced portrayal of the complexities of identity, culture and belonging, this epic story is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the human experience.
Originally premiered in 1987, Leave Taking was revived at the Bush Theatre, London in 2018, in a production directed by Madani Younis. This powerful play has been widely praised for its thought-provoking portrayal of the experiences of black British women.
