Synopsis
‘Nanny: Maroon Warrior Queen’ is a 75 minute biomyth monodrama in dub that recounts the life of Jamaica’s first and only national Shero, queen nanny of the maroons. the play follows nanny’s life as the great spiritual, military, political, and maternal head figure of the maroons and gives an in depth treatment of the system of the transatlantic slave trade that existed in Jamaica. mirroring this journey is the story of Efua’s coming of age as she negotiates her ultimate purpose in life in modern-day Jamaica. the Yoruba goddess oya is present now and in the 18th century, serving as a guide to both women on their journeys of revolution, self-recovery and liberation.
