Interval Theatre The Podcast with The Baroness Floella Benjamin
Coming to England tells Floella's own story of emigrating to the UK as a child. It follows her through the trials and tribulations of travelling with her siblings from Trinidad, to the racism and discriminations her family faced in 1960s London. Coming to England tells the story of how a young Floella overcame adversity and grew to become Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham.
In this episode, Dave Massey talks to Baroness Benjamin about her life as the stage adaptation of her book Coming to England gets ready to premiere in the Birmingham Rep Theatre on the 31st of March.
