Jonkanoo Jamboree (2015)

Jonkanoo Jamboree is a slice of Jamaican life set in the rural fishing district Jonkanoo Beach Village which is populated by the dignified poor who live in small, but well appointed, wooden houses. There is a proud but dying tradition of Jonkanoo costume making in the village. Using humor to keep the audience close to the serious issues, the writer introduces a plot fraught with tension between proud leaseholders on the beachfront settlement, Jonkanoo Beach Village; its indebted landowner, Mrs Terrelonge; and owner of the nearby Quadrille Heights Hotel, Mr Buckingsworth, who corrupts public officials in his scheme to acquire the land.
