| Description |
A traumatic incident in his adolescence motivated South African playwright Athol Fugard to include in his play what is described as "one of the stage's most shocking moments". Like all Fugard's plays, Master Harold has profound political implications but it is firstly about relationships. It is the relationship between two Black men which survives; the White boy is unable to join their dance. This contains an awful warning for Whites - in South Africa and elsewhere. The time has come to choose: between remaining "master", in isolation and darkness; and giving up supremacy, to find brotherhood. |
