Don’t miss the World Premiere of the adaptation of Andrea Levy’s award-winning book The Long Song this October at Chichester Festival Theatre. Set in Jamaica during the last turbulent days of slavery, this life-affirming play finds humanity, humour and hope in the darkest of times. It retains all Levy's trademark wit and flair in exploring our shared British and Jamaican history.
Miss July is born into brutal servitude on the Amity sugar plantation in Jamaica. She’s soon parted from both her mother, and her name.But what July retains is resilience, charisma and a subversive, spirited wit. Her mistress, Caroline Mortimer, newly arrived from England, is about to get more than she bargained for in this lady’s maid. And soon revolution is in the air, for these are the last days of slavery. But as July is about to discover, just because you’re no longer somebody’s property, it doesn’t mean you’re free.
Enter now and we will choose our winner at lunch time on the 20th! Be sure you are free as Long Song is only on until October 23rd!
