BEYONSEA AND THE MOTHERS

By Teneile Warren

WORLD PREMIERE

“There are demons here, but there are also brooms to sweep them away.”

Michael, their neighbour, who fled a Jamaican community, befriends Beyonsea and eventually introduces her to his alt persona, Melody Knowles.

Beyonsea and the Mothers tells the story of three Jamaicans who are brought together by circumstance in a place meant to give them second chances.
