Synopsis
The giddy atmosphere of carnival is the setting for Errol Hill’s ‘Man Better Man’, a rumbustious, colourful comedy musical about stick fighters. With dance and song the battling troubadours and the calypsonian weave a tale of bravery, superstition and fraudulence. When first performed, the ‘Times’ described it as ‘a blazing electrifying feast of rhythm and colour.’
