Mustapha Matura (17 December 1939 – 29 October 2019) was a Trinidadianplaywright living in London. Characterised by critic Michael Billington as "a pioneering Black playwright who opened the doors for his successors", Matura was the first British-based dramatist of colour to have a play in London's West End, with ''Play Mas'' in 1974. He was described by the ''New Statesman'' as "the most perceptive and humane of Black dramatists writing in Britain."
