Life
Trevor D. Rhone, the last child of twenty-one grew up in a tiny town of Bellas Gate in Jamaica. At age nine after seeing his first play he fell in love with theatre. He began his theatre career as a teacher after a three year stint at Rose Bruford College, an English drama school. He was part of the renaissance of Jamaican theatre in the early 1970s. Trevor D. Rhone participated in a group called Theatre '77, which established The Barn, a small theatre in Kingston, Jamaica to stage local performances. The vision of the group that came together in 1965 was that in 12 years, by 1977, there would be professional theatre in Jamaica. He is arguably Jamaica's greatest playwright and is considered the father and founder of theatre and drama in the Caribbean.
His prolific work includes but is not limited to the following films: The Harder They Come (1972) co-author.; Smile Orange (1974) based on his play of the same name.; Top Rankin'; Milk and Honey (film) (1988) Toronto Film Festival Genie Award winner.; One Love (2003) Cannes Film Festival favourite.
