The play tells the story of the wake following the death of Gloria, a Jamaican woman who had been living in London for decades.
For Gloria’s children and grandchildren, marking her death with a party that lasts over a week is a test. Nine nights of music, food, sharing stories – and an endless parade of mourners.
The image captures that procession turned parade, showing 5 of the main characters: from the grand-daughter learning to dance the Kumina to Gloria’s daughter waiting for a sign from her mother.
