Jaffna And Colombo

(SKU: LS600065E2) Three plays—E.F.C. Ludowyk's "He Comes From Jaffna" (1908), Ernest Macintyre's "Rasanayagam's Last Riot" (July 1983), and "He Still Comes From Jaffna" (post-2002 ceasefire)—explore the relationships between Jaffna and Colombo in Sri Lanka over a century. Ludowyk's play portrays early arrivals from Jaffna in 1908, Macintyre's work delves into the anti-Tamil riots of 1983, and the third play examines post-war dynamics after the 2002 ceasefire. Together, these plays depict migration, political upheavals, and resilience in the evolving ties between the two regions.
