Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming
disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the
British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly
improved since, his response has become the most revived black play
in Britain, from its original production at the Royal Court in
1958, to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a
black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port
of Spain, Trinidad, in the mid-1940s, showing how each of the
characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for
themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the
play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many
Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move
to the England in the post-war era. For some of them, these dreams
of a new life became a reality, but they were experienced
differently across genders and generations.
