2018 & 2019 were two amazing years for Carmel Greystone as we enjoyed a UK tour, an overseas tour, a new play, and a distribution deal for our feature film (working title Respect,). Green Apple Distribution has released the film on Amazon Prime under the new title 3 Women.

The evergreen (or is that perennial) Restoration trilogy incorporating Asylum, Healed, and End The Silence, has toured the U.K. to The Hen & Chicken Theatre in Bristol, The Crescent Theatre in Birmingham, The Library Theatre in Luton, all before setting off to the USA for a tri-state tour over 11 nights and 8 performances incorporating Bowie State University-Maryland, Black Theatre of Harlem-New York, & Burgenoff Theatre-New Jersey.

2021 was significant for us as we produced the play Windrush-The Betrayal, sponsored by The Arts Council about government policy to illegally deport legitimate British Subjects in order to achieve impossible immigration target levels. Windrush-The Betrayal sold out for a week at Union Theatre and received excellent reviews:

• "It's an amazing play, it is a really powerful play"
  - Amelia Gentleman-The Guardian
• "A Triumph!"
  - The Gleaner
• "An excellent piece of work. The cast perform with their hearts as well as their minds.
  We must thank ALL the cast... David Lammy's speech recreated here (Joseph Quartson) was epic! See it and weep."
  - Southwark News
• "Congratulations on an Outstanding Play."
  -Arthur Torrington Windrush Foundation

We were also proud to be part of the first drama festival to include the works of Alan Charles, Mark Grey, & Jermaine Wong on the same stage. Lockdown was a fitting return to theatre in 2021 with each writer addressing the theme that has blighted the world for the past 18 months. The festival struck a chord and the weekend at Union Theatre was sold out.

For 2022 we look forward to touring the country with Windrush- The Betrayal, and two new pieces written by Mark Grey, Absolution & Don't Clap for Me Mr Johnson are due out in the autumn.
