I am a big fan of Athol Fugard, the brilliant South African playwright. I’ve made a point to see some of his plays–I saw John Kani and Winston Ntshona both in the “The Island” (in London) and “Sizwe Bansi is Dead” (in Brooklyn). And as we know Kani is very much a product of Fugard’s schooling. So I like the idea behind’s the new theater in Cape Town’s very white downtown, named for Fugard.
