Rating : - A rich, deeply moving play Our theater group decided to do this play this season. I'm ashamed to say I had not heard of it before and was a little dubious about it as a result. Boy, was I in for a shocker! It's a great, great play, full of humanity and pathos and humor and insight. I'll have seen it almost 20 times by the time our run is over and I know I'll wish I could have seen it more times. Everytime I watch it, I love it more and get more out of it.
This is the story of a young white man and the two older black men who work for his family in South Africa. They have been friends since the younger man was a toddler, but now the politics and racism of the larger world are getting in the way. Apartheid is never mentioned in the play--it's more a play about human relations than larger politics--but it looms in the background like a storm on the horizon. This play belongs on the first-tier of theater classics.
