The Lonely Londoners - Sam Selvon

London will do for you for now... And I will do for London. n nLondon, 1956.

Newly arrived from Trinidad, Henry 'Sir Galahad' Oliver is impatient to start his new life. Carrying just pyjamas and a toothbrush, he bursts through Moses Aloetta's door only to find Moses and his friends already deflated by city life. Will the London fog dampen Galahad's dreams?

Or will these Lonely Londoners make a home in a city that sees them as a threat? n nIn the first stage adaptation of Sam Selvon's iconic novel about the Windrush Generation, Roy Williams sweeps us back in time to shine a new light on London, friendship, and what we call home. n nThis edition of The Lonely Londoners is published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Jermyn Street Theatre in February 2024.
