A one-man drama by Rodreguez King-Dorset.

The Windrush Secret, set in 2018, is about a young white far-right racist party leader, a Black Caribbean diplomat, and a white Oxford educated Home Office government official who are giving speeches on the same day, at different times, in separate locations about a million people who migrated from the Caribbean to Britain between 1948 and 1973 (The Windrush Generation), and the British political scandal which began in 2018.

One of the men has a dark secret that he struggles to come to terms with during his fiery speech - it will change his life forever.

'Pulling no punches in its portrayal of racist rage and proselytising' - The Guardian
