Thirty-Minute Theatre: Go Tell It on Table Mountain

on BBC Two England

by Evan Jones.
With Sylvia Coleridge as Alice, Judy Cornwell as Ann, Paul Daneman as Nigel,
Calvin Lockhart as Johnny, John Quentin as Oliver

Paul Daneman Go Tell It on Table Mountain
BBC-2 at 8.35
Both Calvin Lockhart who appears with Paul Daneman in tonight's play and Evan Jones the author (writer of the screenplay for Funeral in Berlin, premiered recently) are West Indians. Evan admits taking the title from James Baldwin and the style from Pirandello, who uses ancient theatrical techniques to create character. 'The idea came to me during the most recent Rhodesian crisis. As a writer who is both black and white, I wanted to do something a little more complicated than putting a sticker on my car.'
