“stunningly moving…immense and amazing..Director Janet Haley’s coordination of this piece is to be congratulated. We were not only struck by the integrity and strength of the players, but the line of sand and rock downstage that allowed a change of venue is very clever. And the sound is masterful with only slight street noises at first that eventually explode into the violence that Mr. M has been trying to keep Thami away from all along.
Based on a true story that the Fugard read in a newspaper during these terrible times, this story doesn’t end as happily as we’d wish. Still, it is a riveting and impeccable production as well as a stirring tribute to all dedicated teaching professionals.”
