The Train Driver is currently receiving its U.S. premiere at Signature Theatre Company is New York City under the direction of the playwright. “A dramatic, moving theatre experience written for South Africa… It will save us from hopelessness. See it.” ― Sunday Independent The Train Driver is classic Fugard, and one of his most important plays. The playwright, known throughout the world as a chronicler of his native South Africa’s apartheid past, has stated, “For me, The Train Driver is the biggest of them all. Everything I have written before has been a journey to this.” This seminal work, which received its world premiere directed by the playwright at the newly opened Fugard Theatre in one of Cape Town’s most politically contentious areas, was inspired by the true story of a mother who with her three children committed suicide on the train tracks in Cape Town. The two-person drama unfolds between the train’s engineer and the grave digger who buries “the ones without names.” Also included in this collection: Coming Home, Fugard’s first work addressing AIDS in South Africa; Have You Seen Us?, his first play set in America, about a South African transplanted to San Diego, where the playwright currently resides; a selection from his Notebooks on his artistic process and an Afterword by Marianne McDonald.

This will be the Portland directing debut of Profile’s new Artistic Director Adriana Baer. Miss Helen, an eccentric widow and sculptor, lives alone in a small village in the Karoo desert. When Reverend Marius argues for moving her into an old age home for her own safety, Miss Helen questions whether to give up, give in, or go on. She summons the only person she trusts: Elsa, a young schoolteacher who loses her footing while taking aim at society’s treatment of those who do not conform. Birth, death, and what comes next are brought under examination as the artist courageously asks: What is true faith? “This beautiful play is about women who resist ‘the norm’ in order to honor their own beliefs,” says director Adriana Baer. “But that is not as simple as it seems. They must ask: how do I justify my love for this land, this country, when I am trapped by a culture that insists certain behaviors are ‘right’ and ‘good’ and others are not?” Adriana Baer directs David Bodin, Eileen DeSandre and Amanda Soden Design and Production: Kaye Blankenship, Jessica Bobillot, Kristeen Crosser, Sara Ludeman, Sharath Patel, Alan Schwanke, Brent Sullivan and D Westerholm Performance Schedule Wednesday,

  • A Lesson from Aloes Press Release-Rev
    October 17, 2012 Contact: Matthew Jones 503.242.0080 or [email protected] For Immediate Release Profile Theatre presents A Lesson from Aloes by Athol Fugard November 7 - 11, 2012 (Portland, Oregon – October 17, 2012) Profile Theatre continues its 16th Season, dedicated to the works of South African playwright Athol Fugard, with a staged reading of A Lesson from Aloes. A society caught in the grips of a police state dictated by the laws of apartheid leaves no one unscathed. As liberal Afrikaner Piet waits for his black comrade Steve to arrive for a long-anticipated visit and farewell dinner, he cares for his collection of aloes and contemplates survival in the country that jailed his friend for political action. Piet’s wife Gladys struggles to play hostess after a nervous breakdown and troubled recovery incurred by a police raid on their home. As the warm blanket of day disappears, a final meeting of friends becomes an evening charged with the revelation of thorny suspicions. “The political and social situation in South Africa has changed,” says director Bruce Hostettler. “Some of the old problems have faded and new problems have risen to take their place, but the ghosts of apartheid still haunt the daily lives of those who live there.” Bruce Hostetler directs Julia Brandeberry, Jeff Gorham and Jasper Howard. Performance Schedule Wednesday, November 7 – Saturday November 10, 7:30pm Sunday, November 11, 2pm – followed by a Matinee Talk Back Ticket Prices $18 - $20 (Adults and Seniors) $16 - $18 (30 & Under / Students) Details and tickets at 503.242.0080 or www.profiletheatre.org All performances are held at 3430 SE Belmont Street in Portland.

As light-skinned Morris tries desperately to hold on to his only family, he inadvertently creates a chasm that might never close, forcing dark-skinned Zach to ask the most dangerous question: Is love only skin deep? “With Blood Knot, we have the chance to ask ourselves: how does racism live in our relationships today on either overt or subtle levels?” says director Kevin Jones. “Do we allow ourselves to notice the stereotypes we act out or project onto others? If we do allow that level of self-awareness, what do we do with it? We need to talk about these issues. For me as a story-teller and cultural activist, coming to this play is about having a conversation.” Athol Fugard originated the role of Morris onstage. Upon its premiere in Johannesburg in 1961, the two-character play was immediately closed and censored by the South African government for having an interracial cast.

  • A LESSON from ALOES by Athol Fugard
    Press Information ! ! VIBRANT NEW WRITING | UNIQUE REDISCOVERIES February-May 2019 Season The first London production in 35 years A LESSON FROM ALOES by Athol Fugard. Directed by Janet Suzman. Designed by Norman Coates. Lighting by Mannie Manim. Sound by Rachael Murray. Cast: Dawid Minnaar. David Rubin. Janine Ulfane. Presented by A Million Freds in association with Neil McPherson for the Finborough Theatre. “…Our race is a mistake.” The acclaimed South African/British actor, writer and director Janet Suzman directs the first London production in 35 years of Athol Fugard’s A Lesson From Aloes at the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre, running for a strictly limited four week season from Wednesday, 27 February to Saturday, 23 March 2019 (Press Nights: Tuesday, 5 March and Wednesday, 6 March 2019 at 7.30pm). In the small backyard of a house in a shabby Port Elizabeth suburb, pots of aloe – the desert plant that can thrive in the most barren soil – bear silent witness to a world where trust has been betrayed and destroyed. South Africa in the 1960s. Apartheid is at its height. Mandela’s ANC has just been banned as a terrorist organisation. Informers are everywhere. Left leaning Afrikaner Piet and his wife, Gladys, hold a party for their mixed-race friend Steve who has just been released from prison. But when mistrust creeps into your own backyard, the closest of ties are undone. Who has betrayed this group of friends? And why is one of them on a one way ticket out of the country? Unseen in London since its UK premiere at the National Theatre 35 years ago where it was directed by Athol Fugard himself and won rave reviews, this new production marks the 25th anniversary year of the first free and democratic elections in South Africa.

  • A Critical Analysis of Athol Fugard's Social Vision in Four Selected Plays
    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 4 No.1 ISSN 2240-0524 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy January 2014 A Critical Analysis of Athol Fugard’s Social Vision in Four Selected Plays Mwihia Margaret Njoki Mount Kenya University Email: [email protected] Dr. Collins Ogogo Mount Kenya University Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/jesr.2014.v4n1p63 Abstract Literature is a product of the writer’s artistic imagination. The writer accurately observes the happenings in his/her society, both contemporary, and historical and communicates to the readers through use of vivid imagination and creative use of language. His/her her aim is to communicate and have an aesthetic impact upon the reader. Writers, thus fuse history in their creative works. Indeed, literature gets shape and direction from society. The shape is derived from society’s experiences in terms of the raw experiences of the society. These raw experiences also dictate the kind of literature; in terms of the techniques and styles that the writer uses to communicate his/her vision. Though a writer may present the realities of his/her society, such realities cannot be fully objective. Literature is fiction; it presents a writer’s perspective and perception of a society’s realities. Thus writers aim at persuading the readers to take a certain attitude towards the realities. What they present is a slice of life; a selected paradigm of the realities. South African literature was mainly shaped by the experiences of black South African; the experiences arising out of the system of Apartheid. However different writers present different perception on the psychological and physical effects of this racist system that dehumanized the black people.
