Uptown Bangarang is A Basil Dawkins Jamaican Award Winning Comedy. Basil Dawkins has developed a reputation as one of Jamaica's leading playwrights. 

He has to his credits, Flatmate, Couples, A Gift for Mom, What the Hell is Happening to us Dear, Hot Spot and the classic Feminine Justice.

Therefore, it was not surprising that when there was an attempt to develop a Jamaica Music Revue, Dawkins was engaged to write it. 
Uptown Bangarang is a delightful play which deals with sexuality, sexual orientation, Christianity, mental illness, pastor/politician, dramatised largely in an uptown setting. 

The directing by Jeffrey Anderson was very good with memorable scenes including the family's watchful eyes on the mentally ill wife as she circled the living room. But more profound was the fact that a house of opulence was juxtaposed with a house in the ghetto. And paradoxically, the same set was used for the house in the ghetto as well as the 'dream house' in New York.
