First staged at the dawn of the region’s stride toward nationalism and independence, Pocomania heralded a new era of Jamaican and Caribbean drama, one unafraid of taking a serious look at the people, the culture and the language. London Calling explores the all too real anxieties surrounding race, class, identity and migration in early twentieth century London. These plays grapple with class, race, gender, language and culture as they explore the tensions at the nexus of prejudice and the performance of blackness.

Two plays from one of Jamaica’s most important feminists and dramatists. This first publication of Una Marson’s insightful and engaging dramatic work is long overdue. Pocomania is among the most important Caribbean plays ever written.
