Show transcript
Pinnock explains that many Caribbean immigrants believed Britain was their “mother country.”
Pinnock suggests that Enid’s daughters feel torn between being British and being Caribbean.
Pinnock says Enid is strict because she fears how Black youth were treated in Britain.
Pinnock says we should look underneath the characters’ words and notice the subtext, what they really want or feel.
Pinnock says the play invites us to think about the world today and make connections with the characters’ experiences.
