Description
Derek Walcott and West Indian Drama: A Study of the Trinidad Theatre Workshop. This book is a detailed study of Derek Walcott's work with the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, a theatre company he co-founded in 1959. Written at his suggestion, it explores the challenges of creating "serious" theatre in post-colonial Caribbean contexts. The book delves into Walcott's life and career in West Indian theatre, tracing the history of the Trinidad Theatre Workshop. Through this study, Bruce King sheds light on the heroic efforts of Derek Walcott to establish a world-class theatre ensemble in the West Indies. A significant contribution to West Indian history and theatre, the book offers a nuanced understanding of Walcott's determination to prove that West Indian drama was a force to be reckoned with. By examining the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, King provides valuable insights into the development of post-colonial Caribbean theatre. This study is an important addition to our understanding of Derek Walcott's work and its significance in the region.
