latimes.com: Many people know that Nelson Mandela’s life inspired novels, poems, plays and films, but few people know how powerful his effect on the theater was and how powerful the theater’s effect was on him.

Athol Fugard once wrote “art works subterraneanly. It’s never the striking, superficial cause and effect people would like to see. Art goes underground into people’s dreams and surfaces months later in strange, unexpected actions.” This point is alive in this article. The influence of Nelson Mandela is felt wide and deeply, his influence has a similar effect to that described by Fugard. This article elaborates on what is already an incredible legacy.
