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.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Truth is the kind of error without which a certain species of life could not live. The value for life is ultimately decisive.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Why not make an end of it all?... My life is a succession of griefs and bitter feelings.... What is death?... A very small matter, when all is said; only a fool would be concerned about it.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
