Synopsis

Small district on an island somewhere in the West Indies 1947

A Hero’s Welcome is a deeply evocative play that delves into the intertwined themes of social inequality, family dynamics, and the haunting shadows of war. Set against the vibrant, pulsating backdrop of a rural Caribbean village, it charts the tumultuous journey of Len, a returning war hero, and the community that both celebrates and scrutinises him.
