BBC Radio 4 Afternoon Play

“When her first love arrives in the country, Lisette Andre struggles to put the past behind her. The story is inspired by the true stories of the Diego Garcian community, who were removed from their island in the Indian Ocean in the 1970s.”

Researching the play involved working closely with the community of Diego Garcians in Sussex, and also living for several weeks among the community in Mauritius. The script integrates English, French and Creole languages and uses drama, original music and interview footage. Produced by NiceMedia.
