Step into an evening of gripping drama and hidden truths at Windrush Secret, hosted at Henley-in-Arden Memorial Hall. This powerful one-man play by Rodreguez King-Dorset peels back the layers of politics, identity, and legacy surrounding the Windrush Generation.
Set in 2018, the drama unfolds through the voices of three sharply contrasting characters: a young white far-right party leader, a Black Caribbean diplomat, and a white Oxford-educated Home Office official. Each delivers a speech in a separate location on the same day—reflecting on the migration of over a million people from the Caribbean to Britain between 1948 and 1973, and the scandal that erupted decades later.
As the play progresses, one of these individuals begins to unravel. A dark personal secret rises to the surface, threatening to upend everything he believes—and forever altering the course of his life.
Windrush Secret is more than a story—it’s a deep reflection on memory, accountability and the lasting impact of political decisions. With just one performer taking on all three roles, the play delivers a masterclass in tension, transformation and storytelling.
