The Windrush Warriors is a story about a fight for justice, dignity & equality and how ordinary people can become extraordinary heroes when faced with a challenge. It’s based on true events and is a socially conscious show. The cast is a colourful array of diverse characters.
The Pensioners share funny and heart-breaking insight into the experience of Caribbean migrants. The Receptionist is a 50 something African woman with an anarchic streak and outrageous language. Second in command is Robbie the Caretaker who wears dreadlocks, a Bob Marley hat and talks like a black guy. There’s just one problem, Robbie is white and lives with his mum in Chingford, not the Ghetto. These 6 people interact hilariously and strike a balance between comedy and sobering drama. Raising cultural awareness about the Windrush scandal via the lens of theatre is an important aspect of the play.
