Joanne Kilgour, John Isaacs and Natalie Rogers, three talented performers who played lead roles in most of Banyan’s early dramas, meet one afternoon/evening on the eve of John going to New York University to study, joining Joanne and Natalie who have just started at Julliard. They dance, role play, discuss and perform memory, dream and present experience, expressing what it means to them to have to go abroad (“Foreign”) to study and how it changes their perception of home. Energetic, hilarious, touching, serious and, above all, entertaining tribute to youth and Caribbean talent. Going Foreign has been re-mastered and re-edited with an added epilogue which tells the story of where the protagonists are now and what they have achieved.
