A no nonsense real to the core interview with Trix Worrell, Trix Worrell has been one of the most successful black British television writers of his generation. Born in St. Lucia in the 1960's, Trix came to England when he was just five. He started of his career as theatre director for the Albany Basement Theatre. He then wrote and directed his first play, School's Out in 1980, which was staged at the Royal Court Theatre. He became a trainee on the Arts Council's theatre director's course at the Albany Theatre in South London, where he had also worked as a teenager. Subsequently a graduate of the National Film and Television School, he was keen to write because, having been an actor, he was less than impressed with the parts that were being written and offered to black actors.
