Terry Wright

(???? – )

Terry Wright was seemingly a fan from London active in the 1950s. However the evidence for his existence is scant.

Fantasy Times #179 (June 1953) describes a play performed at Coroncon in 1953 'written by Canadian Bill Morse and Londoner Terry Wright'. Fred Robinson saw it and said it was 'presented by two of our transatlantic visitors whose name I never did succeed in getting, a young lady from the States and a guy from Canada.' The latter was presumably Morse and the identity of the former is unknown, a slightly interesting mystery in itself although clearly it wasn't 'Londoner Terry Wright'. And there is no reference to Wright in any of the other contemporary reports, nor does his name appear in the first of Ron Bennett's Directory of Science Fiction Fandom (for 1955) or, so far as we can ascertain, in any other contemporary fanzines.

So who was Terry Wright? Was he an attendee of Coroncon? Was he a typo in the pages of Fantasy Times or a misunderstanding of some other name? Or was he somebody who passed briefly through the fannish world, perhaps later to achieve fame as a celebrated playwright of 1950s kitchen sink realism?
