‘dis is my home. My whole life. My history here. And de only future I go have is here.’ As colonial Trinidad advances towards political independence, a downtown Port of Spain gentlemen’s club becomes entangled in a different kind of custody battle. ALMA promises its guests a comfortable environment to relax and indulge. Owned by Englishman Mansion, it’s governed by Pearl and coveted by beguiling Ruby. Then Diamond drifts in. His impetuous deal with a corrupt US Marine imperils ALMA, and all their lives are collateral damage. One wrong move and everything could shatter. Driftwood is the first play from Martina Laird. Directed by Chichester Festival Theatre’s Artistic Director Justin Audibert and set in 1950s Caribbean, it’s a deeply evocative story of self-determination and the search for family and belonging. __Post Show Q&A:__
