  Sir Neil Marriot had a 'good pandemic', becoming familiar to millions from his TV appearances as a government medical advisor. His service even earned him a knighthood, and he is now rewarding himself with a lavish birthday party.
  But, amidst the oak panelling, the champagne and the silver service, his family are at one another's throats again, and he thinks there's something familiar – and somehow unsettling – about one of the catering staff...
  The Snail House is a play about how the past impacts on the present, and how overconfidence can have disastrous consequences. Written and directed by Richard Eyre, it premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in September 2022.

  Step into the tumultuous era from the early 1800s to 1962, where Trinidad & Tobago becomes the stage for the stirring tales of John, Sally, Jackson, and Jacob, and the genesis of the renowned Hell Yard. Among them, Jacob grapples with racial injustices, igniting a transformative odyssey that unravels his true identity within Hell Yard's heart. Inspired by the valor of his ancestors, Jacob fearlessly confronts the formidable families of former slave masters, steadfast in his pursuit of true freedom for the newly emancipated. Jacob’s love for the steelpan inspires him to unite his community in this riveting, historical tale of a generational struggle. The novella intertwines through significant events like slavery, the Canboulay Riot, Emancipation, suppression of African culture, and the relentless pursuit of independence. Yoruba & Orisha customs, Carnival, Canboulay, Patois, and the inception of the Steelpan infuse the narrative with vibrant cultural hues. Themes of identity and societal change resonate, provoking readers to ponder - Are we, as a people, freer now than in the mid-19th century? Has the plantation mentality truly departed? Fortuné's prose captivates with its dramatic, adventurous, and thought-provoking tone. "From Ibadan To Hell Yard" embodies the indomitable spirit of resilience, exalting the essence of "Trinis" and their enduring struggle for liberty. Embark on this riveting historical journey, where echoes of the past reverberate, entwined with the fervent quest for freedom and the preservation of cultural heritage.
