"Master Harold"... and the Boys in the USA
« Reply #1 on: August 18, 2025, 05:57:32 PM »
Santa Cruz Shakespeare present "Master Harold"... and the Boys from 4 - 20 September 2025.

The director is Rebecca Haley Clark under the stage management of Daniel J Hanson, with dramaturgy by Susan Myer Silton.

The players are Corey Jones, Nick Rossi and Elliot Sagay.

"As we watch the massive shifts in the world rock the very foundations beneath our feet, we are confronted with a call to action: What am I going to do about all this?  Working on Master Harold…and the Boys, has further solidified that gnawing question of what would I do if I were in those circumstances, the question that always reveals itself during times of immense change and social upheaval. Who am I really? This play forces us to consider three different time periods. 1950. The time period of the play itself, just after the enactment of the system of apartheid in South Africa. 1982. The time period in which the play was written, less than a decade before the official end of apartheid. And 2025. The here. The now. The crossroads".

Thanks to Susan for the information.
