The Gladiators: Commonwealth Institute, London
Penny Reel, New Musical Express, 22 January 1983
THE INSTITUTE repays a visit. A central space enclosing stage and with surrounding access on tiered levels subdivided into small areas pertinent to the respective Commonwealth countries, with relevant photographs, models, information of produce, cloths, history etc. Dread Broadcasting Corporation relayed from Malaysia. Black Echoes stalked Jamaica. I sat awhile on the rock of Gibraltar near Spain and spent some time on the spice island of Grenada in remembrance of the Alhambra.
