The beautiful island paradise of Trinidad, under the fiery heat of the Caribbean sun. Slim and Professor play sweet calypso for passing tourists. Professor, a past calypso giant with a historic hat-trick of hits, is schooling Slim in the noble art.
They survive on their ‘refreshment capital’, living at the end of the beach amongst driftwood, fallen coconut trees and empty rum bottles. And as Professor ‘speechifies’ about his life, one that’s been lost and stolen, Slim tries to grasp a brighter future.
RUM AND COCA COLA is a gently humorous, bittersweet tale written by one of our finest dramatists. It is the
directorial debut of Trinidadian born Don Warrington MBE, best known for playing Philip in Rising Damp, and for his roles in Doctor Who, Manchild and The Crouches.
