A heartfelt and profoundly moving play by Noble Prize–winner Athol Fugard that follows the friendship of two teenagers – one black, one white – in apartheid-torn South Africa. Against the backdrop of an education system in crisis, Fugard’s hopeful African teacher Mr. M struggles to lift his students above the strife and violence that is boiling in their black township. Inspiring and uplifting, this twentieth-century classic tells a powerful story of political awakening and everyday heroism.
