Creatures, The

Creatures, The
the play is an example of works conceived with a Jamaican audience in mind, a Jamaican audience conscious of the melting pot in which it lived. It offers a unique perspective on the spirit of a people who held on to traditional beliefs and customs in the face of colonial opprobrium as the populace struggled to gain its political, social and cultural independence.

Notes:
In 2012 Jamaica celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Independence. Mixed Company is A collection of three of the finest early Jamaican theatrical works, written for the most part before the dawn of Independence.
