Administrative history
The Trinidad Theatre Workshop was founded by Derek Walcott in 1959. It introduced the first theatre season in Trinidad and Tobago with three plays: Jean Genet's The Blacks, Eric Roach's Belle Fanto, and Wole Soyinka's The Road. Since that time the Workshop has produced Trinidad's foremost actors, and indeed has been a source of theatre skills for the entire Caribbean.
