JAMAICAN PLAYWRIGHT and screenwriter, Trevor Rhone, best known for co-writing the internationally acclaimed film, The Harder They Come, will be the focus of the Caribbean Cultural Theatre's (CCT) upcoming Classic Caribbean Stage and Screen Series.
The six-day event, starting on March 17, will pay homage to the writer, producer, director, and actor who has worked for more than 40 years in the cultural arts, and has been the backbone of Jamaica's indigenous film and theatre industry.
There will be a reception at the Jamaican Consulate in New York on March 17, and the contribution of Caribbean writers to world literature, theatre, and film will be highlighted.
Producing director of the Caribbean Cultural Theatre, E. Wayne McDonald, told JIS News that it was impossible to pay tribute to the masters of Caribbean Drama and not include Trevor Rhone. "He is the father of Jamaica's film and theatre industry," he said.
