This play, Parson Busta Bagafyah, takes readers back to an era of early, post-colonial Jamaica, to a small community on the edge of Kingston. A place struggling with social and economic ills, like many other places on the island. This fiery, no nonsense preacher, armed with a ‘new dose of the Holy Ghost’ returns home after being abroad for a few years, with an undeterred motivation to put an end to the ‘ole eap a slackness’. Most of the residents are poor, others are flourishing, and a few ‘have arrived’ and live on the ‘nice side of the tracks.’
Largely through his ministry, a convergence of all social levels is quite evident, with interesting and entertaining results. We see this clearly when we meet Mrs. Uptina Perfecta, a very wealthy and arrogant native, who lived in Europe for many years, travels down the dirt tracks to Marlene’s home. After an unplanned firing of her maid, she gives out her clothes to be laundered by the poor, dejected woman, Marlene.
