Drama / 3m (1 white, 2 black) / Int.
The role that won Zakes Mokae a Tony Award brought Danny Glover
back to the New York stage for the Roundabout Theatre's revival of
this searing coming of age story, considered by many to be Fugard's
masterpiece. A white teen who has grown up in the affectionate
company of the two black waiters who work in his mother's tea room
in Port Elizabeth learns that his viciously racist alcoholic father
is on his way home from the hospital. An ensuing rage unwittingly
triggers his inevitable passage into the culture of hatred fostered
by apartheid.
"One of those depth charge plays that] has lasting relevance
and] can triumphantly survive any test of time...The story is
simple, but the resonance that Fugard brings to it lets it reach
beyond the narrative, to touch so many nerves connected to betrayal
and guilt. An exhilarating play...It is a triumph of playmaking,
and unforgettable."-New York Post
"Fugard creates a blistering fusion of the personal and the
political."-The New York Times
"This revival brings out the play's] considerable
strengths."-New York Daily News
