Three plays that solidified Athol Fugard's indelible mark on theatre.
The brothers of Blood Knot--one dark-skinned, one light--betray their dreams of a better future with the impossible wish of passing for white. In Hello and Goodbye, a poor white brother and sister churn through their once-promising past to comprehend their bleak present. Boesman and Lena, a black husband and wife, trudge through a severe and unforgiving landscape, discovering strength and recovering devotion through an encounter with a mysterious old African.
These three Port Elizabeth plays, which established South African playwright Athol Fugard's international reputation over 60 years ago, examine with passion and grace close family relationships strained almost unendurably by the harshest of economic and political conditions.
