Patrick Carroll - Evaristo's Epitaph

4 Extra Debut. In a Cornish churchyard, the words on a tombstone reveal a story of friendship across the lines of slavery. Stars Jasmine Hyde. From November 2002.

In a Cornish churchyard, the words on a tombstone tell a startling story of friendship: of a former master and an African slave re-united in freedom.

Unravelling the historical mystery of the genuine epitaph, Patrick Carroll's play is an inspired and tender re-creation of a remarkable true story.
