  • Product Description

    Ossie Jones is an immigration lawyer in Brixton, London, a place full of wordmongers, preachers, and prophets. One day, he falls into a coma, is arrested for a crime he has not committed, and is locked up in prison with a triple-lifer. In the witty and engaging play Brixton Stories, fantasy may, troublingly, be more real than reality.

    Brixton Stories premiered at The Tricycle Theatre, London in October 2001.

    "I went for a walk. I fought in a war. I took long rides on the tube. I met someone new. We had a child. She met someone new. The seasons changed. I changed with the seasons ... That's why I'm here." Three characters reach for relationships that are as elusive as memory itself in the poetic play Happy Birthday, Mister Deka D.

    "A little miracle of stillness."—Independent

    "A perky, quirky look at love, laughter, and forgetting, Mister Deka D suggests that only when you stop avoiding the issue are you able to move on."—The Times

    Happy Birthday, Mister Deka D premiered at the Edinburgh Festival in August 1999 and transferred to the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith.
