Visions and Voices:

Conversations with Fourteen Caribbean Playwrights

 

This collection should, of course, have been published many years ago, and the subsequent deaths of nine of the interviewees make it something of a memorial, but the interviews themselves read as freshly as when they were recorded. With extensive annotations and end notes, and insightful introductions by Kwame Dawes and Olivier Stephenson, this is an essential book for anyone interested in contemporary Caribbean theatre and its history. 

“Stephenson’s book does give readers much to think about, and perhaps it will also encourage the public to see a Caribbean play the next time one is presented in the area.” — Alecia McKenzie, Southern World Arts News (SWAN)

 

 

“One can conclude by noting that theatre is alive and doggedly present in the Caribbean … For this reason, we are deeply indebted to Olivier Stephenson for his remarkable work in bringing to us the voice of these important makers of Caribbean theatre.” — Prof. Kwame Dawes, poet, author, playwright, editor, Chancellor’s Professor of English at the University of Nebraska
