Barrington John Reckord, playwright, born 19 November 1926; died 20 December 2011. Barry Reckord's place in the history of black playwriting in the United Kingdom unfortunately has been almost unrecognised previously. Reckord was among the first modern Caribbean playwrights to have work produced in England. As a Jamaican abroad the in the 50's and 60's he laid a solid foundation for later emerging Caribbean playwrights such as Trinidadian Mustafa Matura, Guyanese Michael Abbensetts and Jamaican Alfred Fagon in the 70's, all of whom appreciated how well Reckord's work had paved their way forward.
