In a small tea shop in South Africa in 1950, two black men and a young white boy joke and dance together, defying the brutalities of apartheid through their joyous love. But festering issues of family, race, and power are not so easy to ignore, and a single phone call can trigger catastrophe. Winner of the Drama Desk and London Evening Standard Awards for Best Play, “Master Harold”... and the boys reveals the profound personal consequences of oppression.
The Signature Theatre production will feature scenic design by Christopher H. Barreca, costume design by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Stephen Strawbridge and sound design by John Gromada.
