Blood Knot and Other Plays
Although I saw a production of one of Fugard's plays some twenty years ago in Portland, this is the first time I've read any. The three plays in this book, Blood Knot, Hello and Goodbye, and Boesman and Lena, are among his earliest, the plays from the early sixties set in Port Elizabeth which established him as one of the major playwrights of our time. Blood Knot is a seven act play, the other two are two acts. They each have two roles, one of which was played by the author himself in the original South African productions; the third play has a third role, which essentially has only one word, "Lena".
These are powerful, emotional plays, which are the more effective in their condemnation of apartheid because they do not take the obvious road of showing whites directly oppressing blacks, but show the system by the consequences in the everyday lives of its victims.
