"...As an audience member in 2016, watching a play about the harsh apartheid laws of South Africa in the 1960s, I could not help but think of our own history of Jim Crow laws and other racially motivated violations of human rights. But the more personal details of Fugard's play - loyalty, betrayal, doubt - these themes hit home with even more power."
