Athol Fugard was born in Middelburg, South Africa in 1932 and grew up in Port Elizabeth, the setting for many of his plays. After spending two years at the University of Cape Town and working as a deck hand, Fugard took up acting and then started to write his own plays. He moved to Johannesburg in 1958, where he set up a multi-racial theatre, for which he wrote, directed and acted. His plays and attacks on apartheid have brought him into conflict with the South African government, and in 1962 he supported an international boycott against the practice of segregation of theatre audiences. Athol Fugard still lives in Port Elizabeth, and also has a home in New York.

Synopsis: | Years ago, Veronica Jonkers departed for the big city in the brave New South Africa, set on making her dreams of fame and fortune come true. In COMING HOME, Veronica returns to Nieu Bethesda several years later to die of AIDS, but she is determined to first secure a future for her child, bright word-loving little Mannetjie. After a rocky beginning, Veronica's childhood playmate and school friend Alfred agrees to marry Veronica and take care of Mannetjie, but Mannetjie resents Alfred's intrusion into the close relationship he has with his mother. The ghost of old Buks Jonkers, Veronica's beloved grandfather, appears to Veronica and to Mannetjie, teaching them how to appreciate the miracle of life, how it is part of God's Plan and that one has to take the good with the bad and learn to survive. With his elders' guidance, Mannetjie will, in turn, learn that the harsh realities of life can be softened by hope and redemption. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | the story of a relationship between a young man on the threshold of his career as a playwright and an aging actor who has reached the end of his career on the stage. The play is based directly on Fugard's own early formative experiences in South African theatre and the affect that the legendary Afrikaans actor Andre Huguenet had on him in shaping his own vision of theatre. It is a play in which the young man's optimism and hope balance the despair and disillusionment of the aging actor. The action takes place in a series of scenes set in various dressing rooms during which the confrontation between two starkly differing realities plays out with humor, pathos and dramatic power. As the rave reviews of the premiere in Los Angeles reveal, this is a play that is intensely human and speaks to everyone. But, above all else, this is a play that celebrates theatre and its abiding significance. From the two very different perspectives of the young man and the old actor, EXITS AND ENTRANCES also reflects the search for a theatre of relevance in an oppressive society. | |||||

Synopsis: | Vicky was named to celebrate Nelson Mandela's victorious walk to freedom at the dawn of a new South Africa. Her mother worked happily as Lionel's maid for seventeen years. Vicky played at Lionel's house as a child as if it was her own home and it was Lionel who encouraged her educational aspirations. So when Lionel- widowed and alone - catches two burglars ransacking his house and finds that one of them is Vicky, it is more than his possessions which are destroyed. | |||||
