SUMMARY:Pay What You Choose: Pressure
DESCRIPTION:With a screenplay written by Horace Ové and fellow Trinidadian author Sam Selvon\, Pressure follows a Black family in west London; from the parents who came from Trinidad as part of the Windrush generation with their first son\, now part of the Black Power Movement\, to their younger British-born son Tony (Herbert Norville). As he leaves school and encounters prejudice on individual and institutional levels\, Tony struggles to find acceptance in the country he grew up in yet has no Caribbean home he can dream of returning to. \nA groundbreaking and authentic exploration of the anxieties of an emerging second-generation of West Indians in Britain\, Pressure (1975) is a significant title in the history of British Cinema\, and remains as relevant now as it ever was — with its themes of police corruption\, discrimination and employment on an individual and institutional level.

SUMMARY:Letters\, Promises and Belonging: The Children Of Windrush
DESCRIPTION:Letters\, Promises and Belonging: The Children of Windrush is a powerful and intimate stage production blending dance and spoken word to bring untold stories to life. Through the voices of a generation shaped by migration\, it explores the letters sent across oceans — messages of hope\, longing\, and separation. It reflects on promises made and broken by families\, institutions\, and society\, and asks what it truly means to belong. A moving tribute to resilience\, identity\, and connection. \n\n\n\nDirected by Tonia Daley-Campbell  \n\n\n\nFollowed by an interactive Q&A session with the cast and director.
