SITTING IN LIMBO was written by Dawn Penso and Judith Hepburn, two London based
Jamaicans. The play written in the late nineties was commissioned by Carib Theatre, and opened to
acclaim in London in April 1998. They wanted to write something topical, about West Indian women, and
politics. They did not want to write a 'bio' story, so they fictionalised two characters, set them in a real
historical context, and wrote about class, power, reconciliation and hope.
Directed by Canadian Jo-Ann McCabe, SITTING IN LIMBO tells the tale of two women locked together
in a struggle between opposing ideologies, socio-economic backgrounds, and personal aspirations. One
is the prisoner, Yvonne Campbell, based on Grenadian Phyllis Coard, and the other her jailer/warden,
Nita George. Together they spar with one another over a period of seven years, strike out at each other
emotionally and physically, and in the end, care for each other. It is a fascinating piece, born out of the
cauldron of Caribbean politics in the 1980s.
SITTING IN LIMBO features Philip Eno as the Announcer/Judge, Amanda Cumberbatch as Yvonne
Campbell and Loretta Hackett as Nita George.
