Written by Michelle Inniss, directed by Cara Nolan and starring Cathy Tyson. Evangeline is waiting; she has been waiting a long time. She waits for the Black Swan to glide through the station and show her a little warmth and kindness. She waits for a ticket home to Trinidad, the sun, the mango trees, and the street vendors selling curry. She waits for Shirley, the daughter she let walk away all those years ago. This original piece of drama written in the Trinidadian Vernacular poses questions about Evangeline’s life and what it means to be elderly and homeless in our society today.
