About the Show

Solo act unveils 2018 Windrush Scandal perspectives, challenging Britain's historical promises.

A journey into the complex narrative of the 2018 Windrush Scandal, a poignant reflection of a real-world controversy that unfolded in Britain.

This evocative portrayal features Rodreguez King-Dorset seamlessly transitioning between three distinct characters: a black Caribbean diplomat, a white far-right party leader, and a white government official. Against the historical backdrop of half a million Caribbean migrants who arrived in Britain between 1948 and 1973, the performance sheds light on the profound impact of 2018 immigration laws.

These laws led to the unjust deprivation of rights for the Windrush generation, resulting in wrongful deportations, job dismissals, home losses, and the denial of essential services, such as healthcare, for individuals who had been UK citizens for decades.
