The Likes Of Us [Drama On 3]

Gloria Wilkins arrives in London from Jamaica in 1957, settling with her husband in Notting Dale, a poor area in the rich London borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Starting with the fire at Grenfell Tower, The Likes of Us moves back and forth in time through the lives of Gloria, her children and her grandchild over the course of sixty years, painting a moving and profound portrait of a family and a neighbourhood.

The Likes of Us, based on playwright Roy Williams's experiences of growing up in Notting Dale, is a story about a mother, a daughter and a community.
