My Children! My Africa! And Selected Shorter Plays – Athol Fugard

Description

My Children! My Africa! and Selected Shorter Plays showcases the powerful range and depth of Athol Fugard’s shorter theatrical works. With an insightful introduction by Stephen Gray, this collection highlights Fugard’s mastery of the compact dramatic form—where brevity never compromises impact.

Included is the acclaimed My Children! My Africa!, a poignant and emotionally charged play that explores generational conflict and the role of education during apartheid in South Africa. Alongside it are a selection of Fugard’s lesser-known but equally compelling shorter plays, many of which have been previously inaccessible to readers and performers.
