I was looking at Dennis Walder's "Notes on Selected Plays"- actually I wanted to reread Fugard's Statements but following a shuffling of my books I can't find it it, so I came to the book as a substitute. One small but interesting paragraph concerns Fugard's politics
"Fugard, unlike George Bernard Shaw... or Bertolt Brecht..., two of the greatest recent political playwrights, is not political in the sense of having been personally active in any political movement or party. (Shaw was an active Fabian So*** THIS IS SPAM MARKED FOR DELETION ***t, and Brecht a communist)...
...[Fugard's plays] are political in the sense of having to do with a specific burning contemporary issue, the effects of apartheid upon the people of South Africa; and these effects are shown in such way that they are not seen as exclusive to South Africa"
Incidentally the book gives the author's first name as Denis (it is Dennis).
