About Rodreguez King-Dorset
Windrush Secret is a powerful one-man drama written and performed by Rodreguez King-Dorset at the studio venue. Set in 2018 at the time the Windrush controversy shook Britain, King-Dorset plays three characters: a young white far-right racist party leader, a black Caribbean diplomat, and a white Oxford-educated Home Office official. Each explains the Windrush scandal from wildly opposing perspectives. For one, a dark secret that he struggles to come to terms with will change his life forever. The show is a provocative unmasking of a horrific calamity in history. It runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A one-man show that takes on one of the most shameful episodes in recent British political history and gives it three entirely opposing voices. Rodreguez King-Dorset's ability to inhabit such contrasting characters makes this a genuinely unsettling and important 60 minutes.
