Now from notes in the comment box, I see that Rebecca watched it.
And as well, Bonnie watched it for she said that she had some ideas that she thought we could discuss about Death of England: Delroy, when next we meet.
I had wanted David Camps to watch the show and so had sent him 10 questions to be answered, at $1 a question. The right answer would get him $1 per question. Sometimes only an attempt at answer the question would get him the cash,.
If you happened to watch the show, here are the questions. Do you think they were too easy? Too hard? Just right?
Question 1. Name 4 other characters that are mentioned by the protagonist but not seen.
Questions 2, 3, 4, 5. Tell me four of the settings of the show (for example, his work as a bailiff where the setting is that the public sphere where Delroy is out throwing people out of their homes). Now without using that one, name 4 others that occur in the play.
Question 6. What is the significance of the red cross on the floor of the stage.
Question 7. At the end of the play, what would you say the wrap up that Delroy gives concerning the situation he is in.
Question 8. Who wrote the play. You are welcome to go to Wiki or any review to get this answer. It is co-written, so 2 names, please. You can also find the answer at the end of this post.
Question 9. What do you think about the references to food in the play. the Jamaican patties, for eg.
Question 10. Name two political references in the play. You can look at a review to find these, or just get get help from your life-lines (either Joaquim or Bonnie)
Oh yes, for a bonus dollar, what is the significance of the title?
Next time I have to get the questions to David a little sooner.

Answers:
Question 8. Clint Dyer and Roy Williams
Question 1. Name 4 other characters that are mentioned by the protagonist but not seen.
ReplyDelete- his child
- his best friend, Michael
- his girlfriend, Carly
- his mother, a woman who wears a Nephratiti statue on her necklace.
Questions 2, 3, 4, 5. Tell me four of the settings of the show (for example, his work as a bailiff where the setting is that the public sphere where Delroy is out throwing people out of their homes). Now without using that one, name 4 others that occur in the play.
- a work vehicle
- the Overground (when trying to get to the Underground)
- a prison cell
- a court house
Question 6. What is the significance of the red cross on the floor of the stage.
- I'm stumped on this one. I wondered about the Christian cross. Joaquim explained to me that the red cross, St George's Cross, is on the flag of Britain. As for significance, I need to watch the play again, but it felt like out of the center of that cross came a flood of emotions - pain, death, and maybe even rebirth.
Question 7. At the end of the play, what would you say the wrap up that Delroy gives concerning the situation he is in.
- ooo. Another hard question. I think it is a cautiously optimistic ending, with his own commitment to reconciliation for the sake of the next generation, in specific, the child who bears physical features of both slave owners and slaves.
Question 8. Who wrote the play. You are welcome to go to Wiki or any review to get this answer. It is co-written, so 2 names, please. You can also find the answer at the end of this post.
Clint Dyer and Roy Williams
Question 9. What do you think about the references to food in the play. the Jamaican patties, for eg.
- It made me want to go out and eat some. Mmmm.
Question 10. Name two political references in the play. You can look at a review to find these, or just get get help from your life-lines (either Joaquim or Bonnie)
- Colin Kaepernick
- Windrush
Oh yes, for a bonus dollar, what is the significance of the title?
- I forego the potential dollar because the answer is too big of a spoiler.

Answers by David's agent.
Dear David,
DeleteYour agent did admirable work. I suggest you authorize her in advance to give answers to the next questions I ask. To tell you the truth, I have been thinking of hiring her myself. I just can't figure out what kind of corporation to initiate where I can draw best on her skillset. Via your agent, you have earned $10. Perhaps you should go into business when you get to college. You will have already had a head-start on your classmates.
