The Alfred Fagon Award is an annual prize 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, named in honour of the poet and playwright Alfred Fagon. The award is given with the support of the Peggy Ramsay Foundation and carries a prize of £6,000.[1] It is widely regarded as the leading award for Black British playwrights.[3]
Background
The Alfred Fagon Award was established to commemorate the life and work of Alfred Fagon (1937–1986), a Jamaican-born playwright, poet and actor who was one of the most significant Black British playwrights of the 1970s and 1980s. Fagon died of a heart attack in August 1986 at the age of 49. Following his death, his friends organised a memorial evening at the Tricycle Theatre (now Kiln Theatre) in London, where donations collected during the evening formed the basis of a fund to support Black British playwrights.[4]
The award was co-founded by Yvonne Brewster OBE, Roland Rees, Oscar James, Sheelagh Killeen Rees, Paul Stephenson OBE, and Mustapha Matura.[5] Brewster, who co-founded Talawa Theatre Company in 1986, had been a close friend of Fagon's. Matura, the Trinidadian-born playwright in whose 1970 play Black Pieces Fagon had made his first professional stage appearance, had also encouraged Fagon to begin writing plays. The first award was presented to Roy Williams in 1997, supported by Arts Council England and the Peggy Ramsay Foundation.[4]
The award was initially open to Black British playwrights of Caribbean descent. In 2006, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary, its scope was broadened to include playwrights of African descent. The tenth anniversary ceremony was held at the Royal Court Theatre, where Lorna French received the prize for her play Safe House, presented by Diane Abbott MP.[4]
The award is a registered charity. The prize for the winning playwright is £6,000, awarded annually from an open call for submissions. The play does not need to have been professionally produced to be eligible.[6]
For many years the award received administrative support from Talawa Theatre Company, and later from Tiata Fahodzi. Since 2014, administration and creative production has been provided by Pauline Walker of PDW Productions. Award ceremonies have been held at the Royal Court Theatre (1997–2007), the National Theatre (2008–2012; 2014–2015), the Tricycle Theatre (2013, now known as the Kiln Theatre), the Royal Court Theatre (2017), and the Dorfman Theatre at the National Theatre (2018, 2019, 2022, 2024, 2025). The 2020 ceremony was held digitally due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[4][7]
Two of the award's co-founders died in the 2020s. Paul Stephenson OBE passed away on 2 November 2024; Roy Williams OBE paid tribute to him at the 2024 ceremony.[8] Yvonne Brewster OBE passed away in October 2025; tributes were paid to her at the 2025 ceremony by playwright Pat Cumper, Talawa Theatre Company Artistic Director Michael Buffong, and Trustee Olusola Oyeleye.[9]
Other awards
Roland Rees Bursary
The Roland Rees Bursary was inaugurated in 2015 in memory of Roland Rees, a co-founder and the first chair of the Alfred Fagon Award (1997–2009), who died in September 2015. Rees was a theatre director who co-founded Foco Novo, one of the earliest innovative touring fringe theatre companies in the UK, and had directed three of Alfred Fagon's plays during his lifetime. The bursary is funded by a legacy from the Roland Rees estate and awards £3,000 annually to a playwright to enable them to devote more time to their writing. It is awarded by the trustees rather than through open submission.[10]
Mustapha Matura Award and Mentoring Programme
The Mustapha Matura Award and Mentoring Programme was inaugurated in 2021 as part of the award's 25th anniversary celebrations, in memory of Mustapha Matura (1939–2019), the Trinidadian-born playwright who was a co-founder of the Alfred Fagon Award. Matura died in October 2019. The award is open to newly emerging Black playwrights of Caribbean or African descent aged 25 and under, and comprises a £3,000 cash prize and a nine-month mentoring programme with a leading Black British playwright. It is supported by the Estate of Mustapha Matura, the Garrick Charitable Trust, and The Henry and Mary Kent Trust.[11]
The three awards — the Mustapha Matura Award, the Roland Rees Bursary, and the Alfred Fagon Award — are named in honour of three figures who were contemporaries, friends, and supporters of each other's work: Matura encouraged Fagon to write, Rees directed both Matura's and Fagon's early plays, and together they helped establish the award that bears Fagon's name.[12]
Audience Award
An Audience Award, voted for by the public, ran for three years from 2015 to 2017.[4]

Legacy and published works
The Alfred Fagon Award has played a significant role in nurturing Black British playwrights who have gone on to major careers in theatre, film and television. Several winning and shortlisted plays have been published by leading drama publishers and gone on to productions at the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal Court Theatre and in the West End.
Winners
Roy Williams, the inaugural winner in 1997 and winner again in 2010 for Sucker Punch, is among the most produced Black British playwrights of his generation.
