As part of its Public Education Series, the Grenada Credit Unions brand makes available to the public, a dramatisation of the National Anthem entitled Grenada Blooms.
The production specifically targets young Grenadians but is valuable for all citizens. The production is a practical interpretation of the National Anthem’s lyrics. It is designed to expose the very soul of Grenada such that the Grenadian spirit comes alive, in full bloom, as we embrace 50 years of Independence. Two leading young characters engage in an educated conversation, asking questions of each other, receiving answers and provocatively testing each other’s knowledge
The story begins with a brief account of our journey from colony to independent state. The lyrics of the Anthem are then explored line by line and the production ends with a lusty singing of the National Anthem.
The play was written by William Joseph, and directed and produced by Creative Arts Theatre.
Grenada Blooms premiered on local television stations on 3 February 2023. The production has been supplied to the Ministry of Education’s PR unit for distribution to schools in Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. It is available on the YouTube channel of the Grenada Co-operative League Ltd.
