"Award-winning playwright Roy Williams returns to Theatre Royal Stratford East with police corruption drama starring Goldie."
Set in modern day Jamaica, Kingston 14 follows the story of James, a black British police officer who is sent to Kingston to investigate the murder of an English tourist in a local hotel. Tied to Jamaica by his father who was born there, he struggles to lead a proper investigation when gang leader Joker (played by Goldie) is brought into custody. The play comes to a climax when two police officers are kidnapped, uncovering corruption hidden in a corner of the sun bleached island.
