Mustapha Matura

Mustapha Matura (17 December 1939 – 29 October 2019) was a Trinidadian playwright living in London. Characterised by critic Michael Billington as "a pioneering black playwright who opened the doors for his successors", Matura was the first British-based dramatist of colour to have a play in London's West End, with ''Play Mas'' in 1974. He was described by the ''New Statesman'' as "the most perceptive and humane of Black dramatists writing in Britain." Provided by Wikipedia
