“Watch De Ride 3 – Snapchat Blues” on this weekend @ NCC

“Watch De Ride 3 – Snapchat Blues” is the best of the trilogy and holds true to the old saying of “saving the best for last”. This is according to the playwright, Ronald Hollingsworth.
Subtitled “Snapchat Blues” to highlight its relevance to today’s society, the play opens with a burst of thrilling events which lead to a series of intense complications and conflict – children versus parents, neighbour versus neighbour, the cultural expectations of societies enshrined in traditional gender roles versus the dynamics of a changing young population and the list goes on.
As the drama sheds light on dark treacherous places, between our conscious and our actions, between our soul and what linger in the back of our minds, “Watch De Ride 3” will surely not disappoint theatre enthusiasts.

The production is billed for the National Cultural Centre on June 24 and 25 under the direction of Hollingsworth and Sheron Cadogan-Taylor.
The play could be considered a classic based on the subject matter and its philosophical underpinnings as it puts a timely question to parents and guardians of today’s youth.

How do we respond to situations when our children find themselves in deep trouble with the law or on the opposite side of the high morals and values we uphold as a society?

In this theatrical spectacular, the minibus culture is brought to the home of an unsuspecting family. While mom and dad are at work, their school-age children use their absence as an opportunity to experiment physically and emotionally.
Many times over, young adults in our lives make choices that weigh heavily on parents and society in general. The play brings the complexities of secrets, impulsive decisions, lies and trade-offs out from under the carpet and thrust them before the audience.

The cast includes Nelan Benjamin, Kimberly Fernandes, Mark Luke-Edwards, Sean Thompson, Nicola Moonsammy, Nathaya Whaul, Leon Cummings, Simone Dowding, and Paul Budnah.
This dynamic cast is working assiduously, pushing to set the Cultural Centre stage ablaze on those two nights. In other words, “Watch De Ride 3 – Snapchat Blues” is a must-see production. Tickets cost $1500 and $2000 and can be uplifted at the box office of the National Cultural Centre. Action starts at 20:00h.
