REVIEW: Elmina’s Kitchen, Cottesloe National Theatre (2003)
Elmina's Kitchen is not just a good play from Kwame Kwei-Armah, it is an important play because it addresses the issues of black youth sub culture and criminality. Named after Elmina's Castle, a slave prison on Africa's Ghanaian coast where African men were held before being shipped to the West Indies or the Americas, Elmina's Kitchen looks at the inheritance of British black youth of the twenty first century.
