Master Harold and the boys - Tickets

    A classic tale of institutionalized racism and bigotry, Master Harold and the Boys is a deep reflection on how victims of discrimination struggled with their sense of identity!

    Why You Should Watch Master Harold and the boys

    A play that first premiered at the Yale Repertory Theatre in 1982, Athol Fugard’s Master Harold and the Boys quickly became a beloved Broadway classic. It was presented at the Lyceum Theatre in the same year. Due to its strong symbolic criticism of the apartheid regime in South African , it was initially banned in South Africa. The depiction of a boy morphing from an innocent teenager to a spiteful bigot and racist is heartrending.On occasion, the play has been described as an expression of the writer’s self-loathing and guilt. Much like the character Harold (Hally) in the play, Fugard was also born with the name ‘Harold’. He too had a mother who owned a tea shop and a father who was disabled. Fugard was an adjunct professor of acting and playwriting at UC San Diego and an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In this production, Lucian Msamati and Hammed Animashaun deliver a moving performance depicting the plight of black servants in 1950s South Africa.

    The Story

    The play begins by recounting a particularly rainy afternoon that Hally (Master Harold) spent with his servant Sam and Willie. While Sam has often treated Hally as a child who needs guidance, Willie has always remained the loyal servant, refusing to address Hally in any other manner apart from ‘Master Harold’. Hally returns from school and finds Sam and Willie practicing ballroom steps for their upcoming competition. Their discussions move from schoolwork to historical figures. When Sam mentions that Hally’s mother has gone to the hospital to get his father discharged, the boy’s mood worsens. His father is an abusive alcoholic who delights in making his son perform demeaning tasks. As the situation deteriorates, Hally begins to angrily hurl racist remarks and abuses at Sam and Willie. How will the two servants react? Can they ever recover the friendly relationship they once shared?
