Synopsis

Southern American ex-convict, Brutus Jones, aided by his double- crossing British ally, Smithers, connives his way into an uncompromising dictatorship over a remote island in the West Indies. Faced with a terrifying people’s revolt, the delusional Emperor escapes to the dark forest and a promise of salvation. But in the searing heat and to the ominous pulse of his trackers’ drums, Jones is driven to make his way through every lead bullet in his gun, right down to the silver one he is saving for himself.

In the catalogue of this great man's plays, this is a very sleight work...but what a production! The staging is inspired and the central performance by Patterson Joseph is magnificent. Another wonderful night at this tiny theatre....
