1950s London. Henry ‘Sir Galahad’ Oliver, newly arrived from Trinidad is impatient to begin his new life in London. Carrying just a toothbrush and a pair of pyjamas, he bursts through Moses Aloetta’s door only to find that Moses and his friends are already soured by city life. Will the London fog put a dampener Galahad’s dreams? Or can these Lonely Londoners manage to build themselves a home in a city that seems to view them as a threat?
Following its sold-out season at Jermyn Street Theatre, Roy Williams’ new stage adaptation of Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners, comes to the Kiln Theatre. Ebenezer Bambgoye’s critically acclaimed production opens up a window into the hopes, dreams, and sometimes harsh realities of the Windrush generation.
