Tonight's play by West Indian author-actor Errol John is very much a black man's view of white society. Jimmy Cardinez, a West Indian who has lived most of his life in America, comes to Europe on a sentimental journey to revisit the places he saw during the second world war. By accident, in Coventry Cathedral, he meets a cousin of his, Kester McWilliams. Kester and his sister Esla are rich, sophisticated West Indians who can largely pass for white. Esla lives in London working as an artist and sharing a flat with Gabriella, a mondaine fashion editor; Kester is teaching at an English university. All are exiles at heart, and tonight's play follows the four characters as they move among a white society and tries to convey the feeling of emotional exile that affects each of them.
