Drama / 3m (1 white, 2 black) / Int. The role that won Zakes Mokae a Tony Award brought Danny Glover back to the New York stage for the Roundabout Theatre's revival of this searing coming of age story, considered by many to be Fugard's masterpiece. A white teen who has grown up in the affectionate company of the two black waiters who work in his mother's tea room in Port Elizabeth learns that his viciously racist alcoholic father is on his way home from the hospital. An ensuing rage unwittingly triggers his inevitable passage into the culture of hatred fostered by apartheid. "One of those depth charge plays that has lasting relevance and can triumphantly survive any test of time...The story is simple, but the resonance that Fugard brings to it lets it reach beyond the narrative, to touch so many nerves connected to betrayal and guilt. An exhilarating play...It is a triumph of playmaking, and unforgettable."-New York Post "Fugard creates a blistering fusion of the personal and the political."-The New York Times "This revival brings out the play's considerable strengths."-New York Daily News

A small-cast, two-act play that takes place in the mud flats of the river Swartkops, South Africa, during the time of apartheid. A couple has been forced out of their home in the farmlands into the slums of Cape Town. Under great stress, their relationship goes through a storm.
