STORYLINE: George and Sabine Harwood arrive in Trinidad from England in 1956. Sabine expects they will depart in three years as planned. Instead, they never leave because George falls in love with the island. In the interim, she writes letters to Dr. Eric Williams, who becomes Prime Minister. None of the letters are ever sent and George gets jealous when he finds them decades later. His desire to rekindle her love and respect has him taking foolish, but brave action that yields little results.
PLAYERS: George Harwood - makes a more sympathetic character than Sabine. He satisfies his yearning to own a bit of Trinidad, feeds his appetite for drinking, and sex with prostitutes. Yet, the writer makes it clear George is still enamored with his wife – albeit after he discovers her letters to Dr. Eric Williams.
