ABOUT MOON ON A RAINBOW SHAWL
An Obie Award winning masterpiece by Trinidadian actor and playwright Errol John, Moon On A Rainbow Shawl touches on the universal themes of hopes, dreams, and the obstacles one may encounter on the path to achieving them. Described by critics as “ground-breaking”, the play has been successfully produced and revived worldwide since its premiere at London’s Royal Court Theatre in December 1958.

Set in Port of Spain, Trinidad, it tells the story of people who are ‘trapped’ in a tenement yard, essentially going nowhere until an occupant of the yard, Ephraim, a trolley-bus conductor, decides to make a break for the possibilities offered by a world outside the yard.

The production boasts a fine ensemble cast and production team, and CNCF is proud and excited to produce it here in Cayman.

“I suspect John was an admirer of Tennessee Williams, since his tragicomedy is full of heat, streetcars and sexual longing. But, more specifically, he pins down the conflict between high-flying aspirations and harsh realities in a cosmopolitan British colony.”
