The Big Life

The Big Life tells the story of a group of friends arriving off the immigrant boat 'Windrush', in the post-war 1950s, all eager for a share of 'the big life'. A funny, sad, uplifting, joyous, rip-roaring, toe-tapping, tear-jerking white-knuckle-ride, The Big Life is a gigantic emotional roller-coaster, sweeping the audience back to the days when people from the Caribbean first came to Britain in any numbers in the hope of a better life.
