"For me "The Train Driver"] is the biggest of them all.
Everything I have written before has been a journey to
this."--Athol Fugard
"A dramatic, moving theater experience written for South Africa.
. . . It will save us from hopelessness. See it."--"Sunday
Independent"
"The Train Driver" is classic Athol Fugard, and one of his most
important plays. The playwright, known throughout the world as a
chronicler of his native South Africa's apartheid past, directed
its premiere at the newly opened Fugard Theater in one of Cape
Town's most politically contentious areas. This seminal work was
inspired by the true story of a mother who, with her three
children, committed suicide on the train tracks in Cape Town. The
two-person drama unfolds between the train's engineer and the grave
digger who buries "the ones without names." This edition also
includes "Coming Home," Fugard's first work addressing AIDS in
South Africa, and "Have You Seen Us?" his first play set in
America, about a South African transplanted to San Diego, where the
playwright currently resides.
Athol Fugard's works includes "Blood Knot," "Master Harold. .
.and the Boys," "Boesman and Lena," "Sizwe Banzi is Dead" and "My
Children My Africa " He has been widely produced in South Africa,
London, on Broadway, and across the United States.
