  3. From a Yardie to a Yankee


Sardia Robinson is originally from Jamaica. Wikipedia defines yardie, : In the most innocuous sense, "yardie" can simply refer to a Jamaican national; as "yard" can mean "home" in Jamaican Patois, Jamaican expatriates who moved abroad to countries such as the U.K. and U.S. would often refer to themselves and other Jamaicans as "yardies".Born into a poverty-stricken Jamaican neighborhood where crime, gangs and political revolution were the norm, Sardia had to step over corpses in the street on her way to school. Then an unplanned pregnancy led to yet more hurdles. Sardias engaging and unique storytelling style takes audience members on an emotional rollercoaster ride fraught with peril, pain, suffering, but also filled with humor, endearing characters, and the undeterred spirit to survive.This vivid presentation portrays writer and performer Sardia Robinsons epic struggles from the murderous streets of Kingston, Jamaica to the deadly consequences of Chicagos drug wars. The one-woman show starring Robinson is full of colorful characters (she portrays eleven different roles), powerful portrayals, obstacles overcome, and heartwarming humor. Written, directed and performed by Sardia Robinson. Produced by Dina Morrone for Theatre West.
Ages: 11 to Adult.
