Alfred Fagon Award
The Alfred Fagon Award is granted annually for the best new play by a Black British playwright of Caribbean or African descent, resident in the United Kingdom.[1][2] It was instituted in 1996 and first awarded in 1997, to recognise the work of Black British playwrights from the Caribbean, and named in honour of the poet and playwright, Alfred Fagon.[1] Its scope was broadened in 2006, to include those of African descent.[1] The award is given with the support of the Peggy Ramsay Foundation.[1]
