Grenada in the 1950s... magic and myth, class and claustrophobia collide to produce a heady mix of gossip, resentment and greed. This is Effie May's world... but it's also Eldora's and although they may be dramatically different women, as the surface is scratched and what lies beneath is revealed, it becomes clear they want too many of the same things. Played out against a backdrop of simmering sexual tensions, Effie May smoulders with the heat of Grenada and the clash between two grasping women. Effie May is a psychological thriller inspired by traditional Caribbean folklore. Eldora, a contemporary La Diablesse, a beautiful 'she-devil', is manipulative and conniving. To get what isn't hers, she'll employ all her womanly wiles and more... Effie May and her husband Theo become embroiled in events that call into question fidelity, fact and fiction, culminating in a dangerous power struggle and the revelation of dark desires.T02052745730Funded by Arts Council EnglandCorporate Sponsor New Nation.
