1950s Port of Spain. Samuel, a young tailor's assistant, dreams of Trinidad's independence. On the eve of carnival everyone fills the streets, dressed up to play mas. This annual celebration turns to tragedy and spurs Samuel on to make a decision that will change the political landscape of the future of this vibrant, volatile island. A wickedly funny, exuberant and poignant play from Mustapha Matura. Born in Trinidad, he is the multi-award-winning writer of numerous plays including Rum an' Coca-Cola, Playboy of the West Indies and The Coup. Play Mas premiered at the Royal Court in 1974, winning the Evening Standard Award for Best Play, and transferred to the West End. This edition was published to coincide with its first major revival at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, which opened on 11 March 2015.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Methuen DramaISBN-13:9781474251471ISBN-10:1474251471UPC:9781474251471Book Category:DramaBook Subcategory:American, EuropeanBook Topic:English, Irish, Scottish, WelshSize:7.81 x 5.06 x 0.20 inchesWeight:0.104Product ID:SC5K4PWKEN
