Class and dis­crim­i­na­tion will take the spot­light at the stag­ing of the play Blood Trans­fu­sion, at the Point Fortin East Sec­ondary School au­di­to­ri­um on No­vem­ber 10, at 7 pm.

The play is pro­duced and spon­sored by the Point Fortin Per­form­ing Arts As­so­ci­a­tion (TPF­PAA).

Shiv­on Hendy plays the lead char­ac­ter, af­flu­ent den­tist Dr Hug­gins, who dis­likes peo­ple from Laven­tille, be­cause of an un­for­tu­nate en­counter he had years ago. Jer­mel Pierre plays Leroy, a re­spect­ed and ed­u­cat­ed young man from Man­go Al­ley, Laven­tille who is in love with Dr Hug­gins' daugh­ter, Pre­cious, played by Sophia Wilt­shire.

When Dr Hug­gins finds out he needs a blood trans­fu­sion to save his life and a vol­un­teer donor is a Laven­tille res­i­dent, he must de­cide whether or not he will al­low his prej­u­dice to get in the way of ac­cept­ing the blood. Oth­er mem­bers of the cast are Ja­son Fran­cois, Janelle Crichlow and Michelle K Syd­ney.
