    Using spoken word and comedy MAN IS DI FEAST follows Olive, a Jamaican restaurant owner visited by different versions of herself after learning that Olive's Community Kitchen is under threat of gentrification in SE London. Can she handle the heat, or will she be evicted from her kitchen?

    Olive represents the working class migrant woman, who is too often misunderstood, misinterpreted and overshadowed. This spoken word is a protest for anyone brave enough to listen.

    "This is a must to get a positive mindset of West Indian culture."
