About this title

Synopsis

Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage Web Site: "[a] quasi-historical drama that loosely relates the surrender of St. John's in 1762 to the French and its subsequent recapture by the British. Often interpreted as a love story, Colour the Flesh the Colour of Dust is a play about survival. In order to explore this issue, Cook creates three characters, the lieutenant, the woman, and the captain who each offer different responses to the island."
