Mr Loverman

Barrington Jedidiah Walker is seventy-four and leads a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, he`s lived in Hackney since the sixties. A flamboyant, wise-cracking local character with a dapper taste in retro suits and a fondness for quoting Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband, father and grandfather - but he is also secretly homosexual and in a relationship with his great childhood friend, Morris. Mr Loverman is a ground-breaking exploration of Britain`s older Caribbean community, which explodes cultural myths and fallacies and shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.
