Leave Taking by Winsome Pinnock, Cottesloe Theatre, 14 January 1995

This was the first play/production we saw in 1995. My log is unusually silent with opinion on this one.

In truth I remember little about it. It is, I think, the only Winsome Pinnock play we have seen to date. It is about the Windrush generation. This play has been revived relatively recently (as I write in 2019) at The Bush in 2018. That revival well described below.

Here is the production we saw’s Theatricalia entry.

I have managed to find a review from 1995 – Variety – click here.

Interesting preview piece from November 1994 below:

Janie might recall more…but I’m not holding out too much hope.
