THE Guyana Prize for Literature winning play of 2007, “The Last of the Redmen”, will now be shown only on November 4, veteran playwright and producer, Gem Madhoo-Nascimento, has announced.

The play which was written by the late Dr. Michael Gilkes, has been reinterpreted, dramaturged and directed by Henry Muttoo and will now be staged on November 4 at 14:00 hours for senior students and teachers of theatre arts. Tickets for the public cost $2,500.

At 20:00 hours on November 4 will be the previously scheduled gala performance. All tickets purchased for this are still valid. Cocktails are from 19:30 hours to 20:00 hours and Uncle Eddie’s Home will benefit from a portion of the proceeds.

The play will feature Ron Robinson, Mark Luke Edwards and upcoming young actors Latifa Agard, Akeila David, David Hackett and Stephon Romain.
According to Gem, the play is an “absorbing drama of remembrance, love and patriotism in a forgetting and forgetful society.”
She expressed confidence that it is “a story of nostalgia, love and the necessity for recognition that will rivet you to your seats.”
