This work analyses Athol Fugard's dramas, showing they are more than a dramatic chronicle of South African life and racial problems. Beginning with the specifics of his homeland, Fugard's plays engage issues of human relationships, race and racism, and the power of art to evoke change. It also demonstrates how Fugard's plays enable us to see that what is performed on stage can also be performed in society and in our lives; how, inverting Shakespeare, Athol Fugard makes his stage the world.
Considered one of the most brilliant, powerful, and theatrically astute of modern dramatists, South African playwright Athol Fugard is best known for "The Blood Knot", "A Lesson from Aloes", and "Sizwe Bansi Is Dead". The energy and poignancy of Fugard's work have their origins in the institutionalised racism of his native South Africa, and more recently in the issues facing a new South Africa after apartheid.
What happened in American drama in the years between the
Depression and the conclusion of World War II? How did war make its
impact on the theatre? More important, how was drama used during
the war years to shape American beliefs and actions? Albert
Wertheim s Staging the War brings to light the important role
played by the drama during what might arguably be called the most
important decade in American history. As much of the country
experienced the dislocation of military service and work in war
industries, the dramatic arts registered the enormous changes to
the boundaries of social classes, ethnicities, and gender roles. In
research ranging over more than 150 plays, Wertheim discusses some
of the well-known works of the period, including The Time of Your
Life, Our Town, Watch on the Rhine, and All My Sons. But he also
uncovers little-known and largely unpublished plays for the stage
and radio, by such future luminaries as Arthur Miller and Frank
Loesser, including those written at the behest of the U.S.
government or as U.S.O. musicals. The American son of refugees who
escaped the Third Reich in 1937, Wertheim gives life to this vital
period in American history."
