By Athol Fugard
Directed by David O'Connor
September 15 - October 15, 2006

Winner of both the Drama Desk and Critics' Circle Awards for Best Play, "Master Harold"... and the boys is widely considered to be Athol Fugard's masterpiece. A coming of age story set in 1950s South Africa, "Master Harold"... is a powerful examination of the impact of apartheid on the relationship between Hally, a young white man, and Sam, the black man who has been his lifelong friend. Searing, haunting, often funny, and ultimately redemptive, "Master Harold"... is as timely as ever, a triumph of conscience over injustice.

"Athol Fugard's plays...have lost no relevance or power, as superbly illustrated by Lantern Theater Company's production." –Philadelphia City Paper  [More]

"A profoundly moving theater experience." –Philadelphia Weekly

"Lantern Theater Company is giving the play the taut, intense and often funny revival it deserves." –The Philadelphia Inquirer
