Master Harold... and the boys

Bay Theatre Company
275 West St Annapolis

“…a blistering fusion of the personal and the political.” The New York Times In a Tea Room in 1950’s apartheid-stricken South Africa, Halley, the white son of the tea room’s owners enjoys a meal and conversation with the two black employees who work there. Prejudice, rivalry and the complexities of human relationships are put to the test of societal forces and vicious racism in what is considered Fugard’s best work. Officially banned by the South African government, this play earned the Drama Desk Award and Critics Circle Award for best play in 1983.

"...“Master Harold” …and the boys is the potential life-changing, pulse racing drama playing in Annapolis, MD., that marks the 11th season opener for Bay Theatre Company. The Company’s mission is to produce theater that is relevant, diverse and thought provoking, and here they succeed in a big way. This timely, compelling play has as many layers as it does emotions, and is must-see theater you don’t want to miss."

"...Director Pilcher draws uniformly excellent performances from his actor trio and balances needed humor with tragedy to heightened effects."

"... Among Bay Theatre Company’s brilliant cast, Williams is the elegant foxtrotyou can’t help watching; Wilder is the basic waltz beautifully executed. McComas reels between the extremes of his character. The set feels as real as the Double T Diner and as oppressive as a gray November day with a relentlessrain cascading from the striped awning outside the shop windows. Ken Sheats’ technical magic in creating the illusion of rhythmic and sparkling rain draws you in like a hot cuppa on a chilly day."

“MASTER HAROLD”…and the boys is one of the twentieth century’s greatest, and most important, English-language plays, and Richard Pilcher’s excellent production, now at Bay Theatre in Annapolis, tells us why. Written at a time when the stench of apartheid overwhelmed the land, Athol Fugard’s play limns out, in chilling detail, the cost of apartheid and the superstitious racism which supported it – to white people.
