Synopsis

Barry Reckord s place in the history of black playwriting in the United Kingdom unfortunately has been almost unrecognised previously. Reckord was among the first modern Caribbean playwrights to have work produced in England. As a Jamaican abroad the in the 50 s and 60 s he laid a solid foundation for later emerging Caribbean playwrights such as Trinidadian Mustafa Matura, Guyanese Michael Abbensetts and Jamaican Alfred Fagon in the 70 s, all of whom appreciated how well Reckord s work had paved their way forward. No scripts of Reckord s impressive body of work have been made readily available previously, many incomplete manuscripts exist but this is the first complete volume of Reckord plays. Here we present three, each from a different decade. These are Flesh to a Tiger , Skyvers (introduced by Pam Brighton) , and The White Witch (introduced by Mervyn Morris). The book also contains contributions by Diana Athill, Yvonne Brewster and Don Warrington. A Reckord Book is a fascinating volume which gives people the opportunity of read and learn from Reckord s work, and enjoy the sophistication and insight of his delivery, characterisation, politics, plot.
