Master Harold and the Boys - Kansas City Actors Theatre
Master Harold and the Boys - Kansas City Actors Theatre
Athol Fugard’s semi-autobiographical account of growing up in South Africa during the apartheid era, “’Master Harold’… and the Boys” is a story of the fraught and complicated relationship between a teenage boy and the two African natives who work in his parents’ tea shop. A surprising and subtle reflection on how institutional racism and bigotry affects all of those living within it, this production stands to be an unforgettable classic in its own right.
