A Stage Reading of Driftwood by Martina Laird
Fri 13th November , 2026
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA)
Description
Step into Trinidad, 1956, where family ties are tested, political tensions are rising, and the struggle for survival and belonging threatens to tear everything apart.
Driftwood, written by Trinbagonian Martina Laird, is a powerful family drama that takes audiences into a world of inheritance, identity, loyalty and the weight of history. Against the backdrop of a nation on the brink of change, this compelling staged reading explores what happens when personal histories collide with the wider forces shaping a country.
Expect an evening of gripping storytelling, complex family dynamics and thought-provoking theatre that resonates long after the final words are spoken.
Whether you are a lover of Caribbean theatre, passionate about our history, or simply looking for a different kind of evening out, Driftwood is an experience worth making time for.
Join us for this special NAPA-sponsored presentation in collaboration with Martina Laird.
