I’ve just returned from 10 days in Ghana, making the same trip to London that my characters in Whose Blood made almost 200 years ago. Although I’ve lived and worked in many parts of Central and West Africa, this way my first trip to Ghana. It felt oddly familiar, comfortable, a part of the world and a part of me I have left but not forgotten.
Rehearsals start tomorrow, we open in three weeks. We will see what these weeks bring.
How fortunate you are, Alex, to have been able to make this parallel trip! I’m sure it really put you in the right mindset for the opening of your fantastic play.
