Uplift at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival

'Uplift' is a heart-warming play illuminating the significant contributions of the Windrush Generation to Britain, the scandal around their wrongful treatment and their journey in overcoming this atrocious injustice with the support of friends and allies. Dave Neita, lawyer by profession, wrote 'Uplift' to celebrate the culture, impact and resilience of the people who came to Britain and contributed to the rebuilding of the nation following the destruction caused by the Second World War. Dave applies the law to support people who have been damaged by the Windrush Scandal and uses the arts to raise awareness of their struggle for justice.

The play is at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer. For booking details see  Uplift | Theatre | Edinburgh Festival Fringe (edfringe.com).

I first met Dave through Jamaican Spiritual, an exhibition held at St Stephen Walbrook which was made up of painting,sculpture and photography highlighting the strong spiritual nature of Jamaica and it’s people. Dave has also contributed to several HeartEdge events, see here, here, and here.
