“Master Harold”…and the Boys

Overview

The award-winning theatrical play “Master Harold”…and the Boys took to the stage at the Fugard Theatre for a month-long run directed by Kim Kerfoot.

Set in a tea room in Port Elizabeth on a dreary, wet afternoon in 1950, “Master Harold”…and the Boys is a poignant coming of age story and exploration of a friendship between a young white boy (Hally) and the two adult black men he has grown up around (Sam and Willy), against the backdrop of the oppressive, divisive apartheid laws of the time.
