Enough of Him (Modern Plays)

Product Information

Sporting a dual Scotland and Jamaica tone, sound design by Pippa Murphy and composition by John Pfumojena sees a joining of steel drums beneath Highland lyric, Burns’ Parting Glass song calling ahead to Knight’s inevitable departure. Lighting projected onto the portrait makes itself a character in the piece, transforming to red when Wedderburn is at his angriest and most dangerous, the trees blurring and changing to blues and yellows when Knight recalls memories of Jamaica or when boundaries blur.

enough means 'as much as necessary'. It can be used with an adjective, an adverb, a verb or a noun. It can also act as a pronoun. With adjectives and adverbs While he’s largely avoided racism by “individuals” over the years, May cites an experience in Edinburgh and one in Leeds, both with the police.When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. And the sexual dysfunction, well, maybe that has something to do with Wedderburn’s 10 years in Jamaica where his appetite for human “bed warmers” was characterised by violence and humiliation. His colonial experiences in the Caribbean have so disturbed him that he has contracted Margaret never to mention Jamaica.

Enough of Him is about the life of Joseph Knight, who was bought as a slave by Scottish land and sugar plantation owner John Wedderburn in the 18th century. Although set in Scotland, memories of the hell on Earth that was the slave colony in Jamaica are ever present in Knight and Wedderburn’s minds. Knight—played with tremendous dignity, humour and controlled anguish by Omar Austin—lives with that trauma. When enough is used with an adjective and a noun, two positions are possible but the meaning changes. Rachael-Rose McLaren embodies the unloved wife of Wedderburn, turning to stomach-churning acts of self degradation to grasp the attention of her husband. For his part, Matthew Pidgeon spits insulting prose deftly. The twisted aristocrat crumbles as the play progresses and Pidgeon commands deadly silence as this unfolds.National Theatre of Scotland and Pitlochry Festival Theatre today reveal the full cast for May Sumbwanyambe’s historical domestic drama Enough of Him.
