Kingston's theatre scene is limited but buoyant, with
a small core of first-rate writers, directors and actors
producing work of a generally high standard. Most of the
plays are sprinkled with Jamaican patois, but you'll still
get the gist.
Comedies (particularly sexual romps and political
satire) are popular, and the normally excellent annual
pantomime - a musical with a message, totally different
from the English variety - is a major event, running from
December to April at the Ward Theatre (ph
876/922-0453) and, later, the Little Theatre (ph
876/925-6129).
Kingston's cinemas
invariably screen recent mainstream offerings from the
States. Tickets are around J$250, and there's usually a
snack interval in the middle of the show. |
Most of the cinemas are uptown and include the
Palace Cineplex (ph 876/978-3522) at the Sovereign
Centre, the Island Cinemax (ph 876/920-7964) at the
Island Life Centre on St Lucia Avenue and the plush Carib
Cinema at Cross Roads
