Starring legendary by Sello Maake kaNcube, alongside Lebohang Motaung and Daniel Anderson, this powerful revival is a must-see tribute to Fugard’s enduring legacy. Set in 1950s apartheid South Africa, Harold Master…and the boys is a deeply personal, semi- autobiographical story that explores how racism and bigoty seep into the heart of those who live under its shadow. At once heartbreaking and illuminating, the play follows a white teenager, Hally and his complex relationship with two Black men who work in his mother’s tea shop. The themes of friendships, betrayal, and systemic, injustice still resonate with undeniable force today.
