WALCOTT, Derek - HILL, Errol (ed.).

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Caribbean Plays. First edition thus of this seminal anthology. The collection of five plays was the first of its kind to be published in the British Caribbean, and includes works by Derek Walcott, Cicely Waite-Smith, Errol Hill, Roderick Walcott, and Douglas Archibald. While each play was published separately by the Department of Extra-Mural Studies, this is the first time the works appeared together, with their appearance timed to coincide with the first West Indies Festival of Arts. This festival, according to the foreword, enabled "us, for the first time in our history, to see presented in one place the songs and dances, the plays, painting and sculpture which are our common heritage".
