Paul Keens Douglas - " Well let me tell You "

Paul Keens Douglas 

In trying to describe Paul Keens Douglas one often has a problem, so broad is his scope. He is a writer, poet, dramatist, lecturer and entertainer all rolled into one. His works reflect and record many of the sayings, opinions and beliefs that proliferate the everyday conversation of the West Indian man-in-the –street. Much of Paul’s success lies in his sheer skill as a performer. But it also has to do with his working at a form and a language that aims at valid literary meaning, without the alienating effects of more formal styles and tones. And if there was any doubt that the use of the vernacular or native language could  effectively deal with serious themes, Paul’s range of work should dispel them. Those who want laughter get it. Those who want a sensitive response to the problems and lunacies of the day get it And  in the same  work!  (reprinted w kind permission pkd)    

                                                                                                                                                  Paul has recently launched a new DVD appropriately entitled “Well let me Tell you” – An Evening with Paul Keens Douglas.  This is a must buy for those who relish and delight in the sheer enjoyment, imagery, and ‘slice-of-Westindian-life’ he creates during his performances.  

Paul also is celebrating 25 years of Talk Tent appearances. He has a wide collection of CDs and several DVDs of his work available .
