The Min­istry of Tourism, Cul­ture and the Arts pre­sent­ed “Junc­tion Vil­lage” as part of this year’s In­de­pen­dence cel­e­bra­tions.

Writ­ten in 1954 by Ru­pert Dou­glas Archibald, Junc­tion Vil­lage is a comedic play, set in the 1950’s, with an elab­o­rate set de­signed by Narad Ma­habir. It tells the sto­ry of loved ones and friends gath­er­ing to pay their re­spects to Grannie Gom­bo who is be­lieved to be close to death.

It al­so delves in­to the char­ac­ters of the in­di­vid­u­als gath­ered in the house.
