Derek Walcott — Dream on Monkey Mountain and Other Plays
Paperback. Condition: Good — some highlighting and notes.
Derek Walcott’s landmark collection of plays for the Caribbean stage. In the title play, Makak, an ageing charcoal-burner jailed for drunkenness, dreams himself into an African kingship, a journey through myth, madness and colonial self-image that won an Obie Award. Alongside it are Ti-Jean and His Brothers, Malcochon and The Sea at Dauphin, introduced by Walcott’s essay What the Twilight Says. Theatre built from folk tale, Creole speech, music and ritual by the Nobel laureate from St Lucia.
Part of the Black Curatorial reading room — books from our Frieze London 2026 presentation and the wider Caribbean and Black British canon. Enquiries: aliyah@blackcuratorial.co
