It’s been a very long time since Grandma came to the Motherland from Jamaica but some memories never fade. Today she is sharing them.
From cricket to carnival, she recalls her Caribbean childhood, the journey to England with all her belongings in her “grip” and the life she made there.
Way Back When is a show for families about family history and sharing memories. Join us for vibrant storytelling, traditional games, and lots of audience interaction in this journey through time.
Way Back When is approximately 30-40 minutes long.
Written by Jacqui Livingston and performed by Janelle Thompson and Nicole Acquah, Way Back When is especially suitable for ages 4-11 but is loved by all ages.
“We loved it! I was impressed there was so much to learn about the Windrush memories, at the same time as being a participatory show.” Audience Feedback
