Mixed Company is a collection of three of the finest early Jamaican theatrical works, written for the most part before the dawn of Independence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in 1954 (The Creatures by Cicely Waite-Smith), 1960 (Bedward by Louis Marriott) and 1970 (Maskarade by Sylvia Wynter), the plays are examples of works conceived with a Jamaican audience in mind, a Jamaican audience conscious of the melting pot in which it lived. Each offers a unique perspective on the spirit of a people who held on to traditional beliefs and customs in the face of colonial opprobrium as the populace struggled to gain its political, social and cultural independence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYvonne Brewster talks to Woman's Hour about Jamaican indpendence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yvonne Brewster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849432163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849432160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Yvonne Brewster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047905685759,"sku":"9781849432160","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f709d737-7592-4b8b-8eaf-b2616ed55036.jpg?v=1684992823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mixed-company-yvonne-brewster-9781849432160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
