Recenzii

Mustapha Matura's sharp-edged satire. . . . Matura's play not only offers a potted guide to Trinidadian ethnicity, economics and politics, but also a potent metaphor for the post-colonial process. It is also very funny. . . . the real power of Matura's play lies in its reminder, under all that surface exuberance, that the movement towards independence carried its own element of fancy-dress masquerade.
a blackly comical play . . . a story of deceptive appearances . . . Play Mas misdirects us nicely: we've seen a thousand tales of the oppressed becoming the oppressor, yet this one still surprises.
a deeply and darkly funny exploration of Trinidad before and after the Caribbean island's independence from Britain in 1962. It sweeps you up and leaves you breathless.
