God's Gift

About the show

Featuring inventive use of puppetry, and created by a mother-son writing team, God’s Gift is a family drama spanning four generations, two timeframes and a school which hasn’t changed in 100 years.

In 1911, Shirley, a young Caribbean man in a new country, must find a way to assimilate into a system that doesn’t want him or risk alienation. In 2020, 17-year-old Ambrose confronts the reality of abuse within his school as he overcomes his fear of speaking up. His mother and Grandfather are blinded by their need for safety and must change or face the consequence of inaction.

Written and directed by Lolly Whitney Low.
