The UWI Centre for Creative and Festival Arts recently staged “Bitter
Cassava” from March 28th to 30th and April 4th to 6th 2008, at the
Learning Resource Centre (LRC) at the St. Augustine Campus. Written by
Lester Efebo Wilkinson, Bitter Cassava was first produced in November
1979 for the Folk Theatre Festival component of the Prime Minister’s
Best Village Trophy Competition. In 1984, it was the opening play for
the Drama Festival and subsequently copped several awards that year
including awards for playwriting, acting and choreography and went on to
appear, in August of 1984, at the International Amateur Theatre Festival
held in Los Angles, USA, in honor of the Olympics. UWI Lecturer Louis Mc
Williams directed the production. |
