1973. London is on the verge of a terribly cold winter with Prime Minister Edward Heath’s announcement of a Three-Day week. Just arrived from Jamaica, Irene joins her childhood sweetheart Everton in London, sharing a tiny room in a house in Peckham, as the two try to adjust to their new life together and navigate a racist new country, unwelcoming to the growing Caribbean population.

Socio-political changes in the UK and the fuel crisis exposes the differences between them, and a blossoming new friendship with their landlord David threatens the likelihood of our young couple’s marriage to last through winter.

The final show in The Ryan Calais Cameron Season. Written and directed by Kaleb D'Aguilar. 

Kaleb D'Aguilar is a writer and director for film and theatre residing between London and Jamaica. His work often explores recurring themes of Blackness, Caribbeanness, gender, sexuality, migration, familial bonds, and the intersectional identities found between these margins.
