The Coup

The play revolves around the aftermath of a military coup d'etat in a "fictional" Trinidad and Tobago. The playwrights other work includes "Play Mas", "Independence" and "Meetings".

"The most perceptive and humane of Black dramatists writing in Britain" (New Statesman) Mustapha Matura's farcical, fictional coup, set in an independent Trinidad and Tobago, swings with the fluid language and magical lyricism of the Caribbean and explores the chimerical quality of nationhood where foreign money overpowers dreams.
