Description
Moon on a Rainbow Shawl by Errol John is set in a vibrant and cosmopolitan world that is both harsh and filled with colour and warmth. In this lively, crowded corner of Trinidad, life is lived out on a sweltering public stage.
Snatches of music, hymn tunes, drums, and street cries fill the air as neighbours drink, brawl, pass judgment, make love, look out for each other, and crave a better life. Against this backdrop, a young man named Ephraim is determined to escape his dead-end job and start anew in England.
Errol John's powerful drama depicts a world that is both beautiful and brutal, where the problems of one community are reflected in others around the globe. First published by Faber in 1958, Moon on a Rainbow Shawl was revived at the National Theatre, London, in March 2012.
