Hello And Goodbye, Trafalgar Studios, London

The Independent (Free subscription) | 04/30/2008

At the start of Athol Fugard's play, Jimmy Smit sits in his decrepit Port Elizabeth house banging a spoon on a glass and counting till he reaches the number of days in a leap year. He then launches into a monologue in which he seeks to reassure himself that he is not mad, but does not convince us, what with his bursts of short, choppy speech alternated with glissandos of rising fear, and statements...

Theatre review: Hello and Goodbye

So anyway, (Free subscription) | 04/29/2008

Monday's not a usual theatre night for me, but Trafalgar 2 does £15 tickets on a Monday, and I was interested in seeing Athol Fugard's Hello and Goodbye (and obviously the poster featuring Rafe Spall in a vest had nothing to do with it.) The play's a two-hander, and the title refers to the way in which Hester Smit (Saskia Reeves) returns to her childhood home for a few brief hours one night in 1965,...

Lights, camera, activist: Danny Glover on his new film Honeydripper

Times Online (Free subscription) | 04/26/2008

A small theatre, Off-Broadway, in 1981. Danny Glover is 35 years old, an aspiring actor, as yet unrecognised by Hollywood. He is about to perform in a production of the South African township play Sizwe Banzi is Dead by Athol Fugard. There’s just one problem: Glover has epilepsy, and he feels a seizure coming on.

Review: Hello & Goodbye

Whatsonstage.com (Free subscription) | 04/25/2008

One of his earliest plays, Hello and Goodbye (1965) relates as much to Athol Fugard's early life and experience as it does to the brutal political realities of poverty and apartheid in South Africa. And yet, as Paul Robinson's powerful production i...

Athol Fugard’s bleak comic story of a man who can keep himself afloat only by putting himself six feet under remains a potent parable.

Review: The tight bond between brothers

Examiner (Free subscription) | 02/25/2008

Perplexing, intriguing, engrossing, Athol Fugard's 1961 "Blood Knot" is one of his best plays. The American Conservatory Theater's production focuses attention once again on the puzzle represented by the juxtaposition of the date and the judgment in the sentence above.

I saw Athol Fugard's disturbing play Victory tonight at the Fountain Theatre (local L.A. Weekly Review here ). As the Weekly writes, "[w]here and how to direct one's rage is the drama's unanswerable, theological question." I returned home to a reader comment on my Zimbardo post Avoiding Evil and Promoting Good , directing my readers to the Situationist which recently posted a Zimbardo lecture: Genocide...

Review: A.C.T. reprises 'Blood Knot' with insight, grace

Examiner (Free subscription) | 02/23/2008

Perplexing, intriguing, engrossing, Athol Fugard's 1961 "Blood Knot" is one of his best plays. The American Conservatory Theater's production focuses attention once again on the puzzle represented by the juxtaposition of the date and the judgment in the sentence above. Fugard was not yet 30, "Blood Knot" was his first substantial play - and it turned out so well, fully equal of his works to come years...
