Dear Editor,
I am appalled and saddened that for our 60th Independence anniversary celebrations there is no theatrical production being staged showcasing our history as an independent country, depicting from whence we came, who we are and what we are, as a people and as a nation.
I recalled that in 2006, the production for the 40th Independence anniversary staged by GEMS Theatre Productions, initiated and financed by GT&T and enthusiastically supported by the then CEO Major General Rtd Joe Singh. ‘All In Wan’ was a musical written by Dave Martins, directed by Ron Robinson and produced by me.
In 2016, for the 50th Independence Anniversary, another musical sponsored by the Ministry of Social Cohesion, staged ‘ONE’ written and directed by Russell Lancaster.
It is 2026, having seen the recently launched schedule of events for the 60th Independence Anniversary celebrations, NOTHING???
Where forth is our Orange Economy?
