New Books & Plays On The Block
During The Lockdown Lift of Summer 2021 We Reviewed Three Very Different Plays By Three Different Black Playwrights Each of Which We Suggested Should Feature On The School Curriculum Because of Their Poignant Black British History. These Were:-
Hymn’ (Written By Lola Chakrabarti @lolita.charabarti)
Breathe (Written By Yomi Sode @yomi_sode)
Rockets & Blue Lights’ (Written By Winsome Pinnock winsomepinnock.co.uk).
Since Then It Has Been Announced By The OCR (One of The Main GCSE Examination Boards In Britian) That One of Winsome Pinnock’s Other Plays;
‘Leave Taking’
Will Be Studied By English Literature Students As Part of The A Level School Syllabus. It Seems Top Marks To Them Are In Order.
Dickens. Shakespeare. Eyre. And Pinnock. Amen! Let’s Keep Beating The Drum!
Written By The Royal Society of Literature Playwright & Screenwriter, Winsome Pinnock, Published By Nick Hearn Books @nickhearnbooks, And Staged At The National Theatre Summer 2021 (After Staging At The Royal Exchange Manchester Was Brought To A Halt By The Spring Lockdown In 2020), Rockets & Blue Lights Is Also Worthy of Scholarly Study At School, As Stated In Our Review At The Time. rsliterature.org
Meantime Pinnock’s “Leave Taking” And Everisto’s “Girl, Woman, Other” Also Lead The Way Amongst Black Authors Today.
