No Pain Like This Body
By Harold Sonny Ladoo , dramatised by David Dabydeen and Elly Niland.
This great Caribbean novel vividly depicts the terrifying world of a family brutalised by violence, poverty and nature itself. Set in a Hindu community in the Eastern
Caribbean in 1905 during the August rainy season, it centres on a poor rice-growing family's struggle to survive.
Music by Dominque le Gendre Director Nadia Molinari
