Exits and Entrances

Playwright Athol Fugard's meditation on life in the theater.

BackStage West

Fugard remains the rare thing he always was: a brilliant, fearless playwright, tapping into the essence of what it feels like to be human...

The New Yorker has said of Athol Fugard, "A rare playwright, who could be a primary candidate for either the Nobel Prize in Literature or the Nobel Peace Prize." His major works for the stage include: Blood Knot; "Master Harold"...and the boys; My Children! My Africa!; A Lesson from Aloes; The Road to Mecca; Valley Song; and The Captain's Tiger.
