South Africa’s Conscience Reflects

NYTimes.com: “Blood Knot,” the 1961 play that vaulted Athol Fugard into international prominence, features two young South African men, one black and one white, grappling over what the world owes them. “The Train Driver,” which Mr. Fugard, left, wrote in 2010, features two older South African men, one black and one white, grappling over what they owe the world. These works bookend a rich career for Mr. Fugard, who turns 80 this June and is being honored this season with four major New York productions. These two plays, along with the 1989 political drama “My Children! My Africa!,” make up a big part of the Signature Theater Company’s inaugural season in its new home.
