<i>London will do for you for now… And I will do for London.</i><br/><br/>London, 1956. Newly arrived from Trinidad, Henry 'Sir Galahad' Oliver is impatient to start his new life. Carrying just pyjamas and a toothbrush, he bursts through Moses Aloetta's door only to find Moses and his friends already deflated by 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?<br/><br/>In the first stage adaptation of Sam Selvon's iconic novel about the Windrush Generation, Roy Williams sweeps us back in time to shine a new light on London, friendship, and what we call home.<br/><br/>This edition of <i>The Lonely Londoners</i> is published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Jermyn Street Theatre in February 2024 and the subsequent production at The Kiln Theatre in January 2025.
