Mother Poem

---

Synopsis:

The play, adapted by the company, is described in the programme as 'a meditation (…) a combination of dreams, memories and questions' inspired by the island of Barbados, the idea of belonging and the effects of slavery in the relationships between women, men and children. As a poem, the play text makes use of strong visual images for the narration of the journey back home of three black British women and the ways in which they relate to their personal and collective past.
