From Library Journal
Nobel laureate poet and dramatist Walcott founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop. Walcott's plays, including Ti-Jean and His Brothers, Dream on Monkey Mountain, The Charlatan, and Haytian Earth, are widely acclaimed and have been produced throughout the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. This book recounts the story of how Walcott was able to create this world-class theater company and inspire it with his creativity and energy, also offering a discussion of the ongoing support the company receives from the Rockefeller Foundation. A detailed and scholarly work, this title fills a gap in theater history and is most likely to be read by serious students and historians. Recommended for large academic collections.
