Culturosity

Writer and director Paul Anthony Morris’s latest work is an action packed political satire that takes us into the sometimes surreal world of politics and survival in Jamaica. 35 Cents, the first major work for Crying in the Wilderness Productions, plays at the Blue Elephant Theatre in Camberwell, London, from 8th May - 26th May (Tuesdays to Saturdays).

It’s election time in Jamaica and the campaigns are already smouldering with intimidation and violence. Fatigued by ever increasing levels of poverty and corruption on the Island, a new student organisation called the ‘No Confidence Movement’ enters the political arena. Their mission, to lead the electorate on a national boycott of the general elections to protest against International and Corporate interference in the Island’s affairs. However, as our young
protagonists prepare to embark on their campaign, they are confronted with the reality that political power comes at a price. The question is, who’s going to pay?
