London will do for you for now… And I will do for London.
London, 1956. Newly arrived from Trinidad, Henry 'Sir Galahad' Oliver is impatient to start his new life. Carrying just pyjamas and a toothbrush, he bursts through Moses Aloetta's door only to find Moses and his friends already deflated by city life. Will the London fog dampen Galahad's dreams? Or will these Lonely Londoners make a home in a city that sees them as a threat?
In the first stage adaptation of Sam Selvon's iconic novel about the Windrush Generation, Roy Williams sweeps us back in time to shine a new light on London, friendship, and what we call home.
This edition of The Lonely Londoners is published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Jermyn Street Theatre in February 2024 and the subsequent production at The Kiln Theatre in January 2025.
