If there is a more urgent and indispensible playwright in world theatre
than South Africa's Athol Fugard, I don't know who it could be.--Jack
Kroll, Newsweek
One of the true contemporary masters of the stage, South African
playwright Athol Fugard has written one of his most stunning works.
Sorrows and Rejoicings explores the legacy of Apartheid on two
women--one white, the other black--who on the surface seem to have
little in common except for their love of one man, a white poet who is
attached to the Karoo land of South Africa. The drama moves between past
and present, reliving the poet's despondent years in exile and his
eventual return to a new South Africa. With lyrical grace, Fugard once
again demonstrates the human struggle to transcend the treacherous
injustices of history.
South African playwright, actor and director, Athol Fugard is one of
the world's leading theatre artists, of whom The New Yorker has said,
A rare playwright, who could be a primary candidate for either the Nobel
Prize on Literature or the Nobel Peace Prize.
