Joseph Jones Caribbean Plays Collection, ca. 1950s-1960s.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122530539

The collection consists of seventeen mimeographed one-act typescripts by eleven playwrights. All the plays appeared in Caribbean Plays, a publication of the University College of the West Indies' Department of Extra-Mural Studies in Kingston, Jamaica. None of the plays is dated, but from publication dates given in secondary sources, it is assumed that these playwrights attended writing workshops during the 1950s and 1960s. Authors include A. N. Forde, Errol Hill, Slade Hopkinson (who later used the name Abdur-Rahman Slade Hopkinson), Cicely Howland (who is better known by the name Cicely Waite-Smith), Errol John, and Roderick Walcott, Derek Walcott's twin. Less is known about Osborne Ashby, J. S. Barker, Veronica Fonrose, Lloyd Hart, and Wilfred Redhead, all of whom are represented in this collection.
