However, there was humour created through this scene by Stefan Adegbola as Jackie’s father highlights the contradictions made by his character. His sole purpose is to assert his religious righteousness upon his daughter. It became apparent to me that the large frame/branch was symbolic of Jackie’s mixed heritage – which is one of western influences and one of tribal and traditional cultures.Ī key scene in which the traditional influence of her African ancestry was shown was the scene where she meets her biological father, who is from Nigeria. Tanika Gupta adapted Kay’s memoir for the stage, but it felt as if her memoirs had literally jumped off the page.Īs we walked into the theatre, we were met with a large golden brown frame that was combined with a twisted large branch that overtook the corner of the frame. On 12th September, I had the pleasure of watching Jackie Kay’s Red Dust Road at Home.
