“Last of the Redmen” is a 2007 prize winning play for the Guyana Prize for Literature and is being produced by GEMS Theatre Productions and Prime Time productions with support from the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports.
In “Last of the Redmen”, RAF Redman, an octogenarian, banished to an almshouse in Georgetown, tells his story to a reporter about the play he is writing. He experiences a wide range of emotional gamut ranging from excitement, astonishment, elation, Joy, happiness and delight, to boredom, anger, fear, alarm, to tedium, depression, disillusionment and madness. The story is a representation of the benign artistic and cultural influence of the so called ‘middle classes’, and can be traced in most of the territories of the Caribbean. The play celebrates that influence with love and gratitude.
Is this oil a blessing or a curse?
