Tarell Alvin McCraney was born in Liberty City in Miami, Florida and attended Yale School of Drama, where he received the Cole Porter playwriting award. Between 2008 and 2010 he was international writer in residence for the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he remains an associate artist. His semi-autobiographical 2003 play, In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue, was adapted for the screen by director Barry Jenkins and renamed Moonlight. In 2016, it won Academy and Golden Globe awards for best picture, and McCraney shares an Oscar for best adapted screenplay with Jenkins. A revival of McCraney’s Olivier award-winning 2007 play, The Brothers Size, is at the Young Vic, London SE1, until 14 February.
