This week: If the Natives are Hungry They Can Always Pick a Banana...
But the idle comment of a hotel executive in the lush tourist section of Jamaica is hardly the answer to the problems facing the island. In the recent elections violence and gun-fire resulted in death. Poverty, bad housing, illiteracy, and unemployment face too many Jamaicans today. The tourist industry is booming. The hotels flourish, visitors are happy - and seldom see the slums or the difficulties. A hotel room can cost £500 a week - if you are one of the privileged. On the other hand you may have to feed a family of seven for £2 10s. 0d. a week - if you are one of the poor.
by James Hanley.
With Nora Nicholson as Mrs. Twomey, Derek Francis as Mr. Henge
and Paula Byrne as Mrs. Henge, Lennox Milne as Mrs. O'Halloran
'That Woman' as she is referred to by the Henges, her wealthy, selfish employers, is a simple warm-hearted old Irish housekeeper. Her family are dead and she has nowhere else to go so she spends her life fetching and carrying for this strange godless couple, who live in separate rooms and never speak to each other.
