Jamaican Plays

The much acclaimed comedy/drama Adrian Nelson’s Dream Merchant closed the weekend of July 4, 2009, bringing to an end one of the biggest drama productions for 2009.

Written by Adrian Nelson and produced by the King of Comedy, Oliver Samuels O.D. and Adrian Nelson, Dream Merchant has for the past two months played to packed houses at Centrestage, and brought the curtains down July 4th weekend with five shows.

Dream Merchant tells the rags to riches story of a young girl from the country who realizes her career dream only to discover the dreadful hidden consequences that are accompanied with her success. The play stars legendary actress, ‘Dancehall Queen’ Audrey Reid, Dorothy Cunningham, Ronald Goshop, Kedecia Stewart, Elizabeth Brown and Tesfa Edwards, with another veteran in the theatre circuit, Carol Lawes sitting as Director.

“There is a whole lot more excitement and intrigue to the story especially with the characters played by Audrey Reid and Dorothy Cunningham/Elizabeth brown, a real roller coaster ride that leaves you on the edge of your seat during the entire presentation,” Nelson said.

Nelson guaranteed that patrons would be pleasantly surprised and thoroughly satisfied at the end of the performances, especially because you got a chance to meet and greet with Oliver Samuels who welcomed patrons at the door some nights.

Adrian Nelson’s Dream merchant is rated ‘General’ for the entire family and is again cleverly written to captivate from the roots play lovers to the uptown and even Christian audiences.
