Ragamuffin


Synopsis:

The play juxtaposes historical events from the 1791 Haitian Revolution with the 1985 Broadwater Farm riots in London. The story is told through its central character, Ragamuffin, the warrior, fusing dancehall, reggae and rap style music and choreography. The play is set in a ceremonial court where Ragamuffin is on trial for ‘gross misconduct' and awaits for a verdict from the jury played by the audience.
