Master Harold... and the boys

Aurora Theatre
2081 Addison Street Berkeley

Aurora Theatre Company in Berkeley performs South African playwright Athol Fugard's critically-acclaimed drama "Master Harold" ... and the boys. An ordinary rainy afternoon in 1950s South Africa turns into a profound and life-changing experience for young, white Harold and the two black workers employed by his family. Alone and faced with the return of his alcoholic father, Harold must weigh his father's racist outlook against the respect he has for these men whom he considers his friends. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play in 1982, and initially banned in South Africa, "Master Harold" ... and the boys remains one of the most powerful coming-of-age plays ever written.
