The critically acclaimed adaptation of Sam Selvon’s iconic novel.



1950s London. Newly arrived from Trinidad, Henry ‘Sir Galahad’

Oliver is impatient to start his new life in London. Carrying just

pyjamas and a toothbrush, he bursts through Moses Aloetta’s door

only to find Moses and his friends already soured on city life. Will

the London fog dampen Galahad’s dreams? Or will these Lonely

Londoners make a home in a city that sees them as a threat?



Following its sold out run at Jermyn Street Theatre, Roy Williams’

adaptation of Sam Selvon’s iconic novel, The Lonely Londoners,

comes to Kiln. Ebenezer Bambgoye’s critically acclaimed production

opens a window into the hopes, dream and realities of generation

Windrush.
