ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The Walcott Festival opens in 2019 in Trinidad with a beloved Caribbean classic and the first play, other than Shakespeare, to be presented by Joseph Papp in New York City’s Central Park, as well being staged at the American Academy in Rome. The play, Ti-Jean & His Brothers, directed by Wendell Manwarren will open at Queen’s Hall in September, with a gala and specially discounted performances for schools. The Festival will also feature an exhibition of Walcott’s storyboards, oils and watercolour paintings at Medulla Art Gallery and two writing workshops.
