WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY PAUL ANTHONY MORRIS · BLUE ELEPHANT THEATRE · 2007
It’s election time on the romantic Caribbean Island of Jamaica however, the campaign is overwhelmed by extreme apathy & disillusionment.
Fatigued by increasing levels of poverty, debt and trade injustice, a new student organisation called the No Confidence Movement emerges to harangue all the existing political parties and lead the electorate on a national boycott of the general elections. With various bilateral and multinational interests now at stake, a U.S. led military invasion is initiated to neutralize the growing support for the boycott. Nevertheless, it is from within this cauldron that the students of the, No Confidence Movement, take us on a frenetic journey that will ultimately determine the political future of their island.
“Morris and his cast set about it with great spirit, fluid, fast-and-loose theatre.”
“A versatile cast with some powerful, moving and comic performances.”
“Morris does it in exuberant style. It works too because of the skilled, quick-shifting character creations by its fine cast of five.”
