"If there is a more urgent and indispensible playwright in world
theatre than South Africa's Athol Fugard, I don't know who it could
be."-Jack Kroll, "Newsweek"
One of the true contemporary masters of the stage, South African
playwright Athol Fugard has written one of his most stunning works.
"Sorrows and Rejoicings" explores the legacy of Apartheid on two
women-one white, the other black-who on the surface seem to have
little in common except for their love of one man, a white poet who
is attached to the Karoo land of South Africa. The drama moves
between past and present, reliving the poet's despondent years in
exile and his eventual return to a new South Africa. With lyrical
grace, Fugard once again demonstrates the human struggle to
transcend the treacherous injustices of history.
South African playwright, actor and director, Athol Fugard is
one of the world's leading theatre artists, of whom "The New
Yorker" has said, "A rare playwright, who could be a primary
candidate for either the Nobel Prize on Literature or the Nobel
Peace Prize."
