I don't mean to be telling tales out of school, but according to a friend who worked with the Trinidad Theatre Workshop in the 60s one of the reasons its founder, Derek Walcott was so notoriously intractable to work with was the fact that he would come to rehearsals roaring drunk. His tipple of choice? Bourbon. Of course, it was probably the perennial frustrations of trying to be a playwright in this land that drove the old master to the bottle.
