'My Children! My Africa!' presents a moving portrait of a country on the verge of revolution.
"My Children! My Africa!" by Athol Fugard is a powerful South African play set during the final years of apartheid.
First performed in 1989, the production explores education, activism and the difficult choices faced by young people and their teachers during a divided time in the country’s history.
The story follows Mr M, a passionate teacher, his talented student Thami Mbikwana and Isabel Dyson, a white student who joins them in a debate competition.
Through their relationships, the play examines the tension between peaceful dialogue and revolutionary action. More than a story about apartheid, it is a reflection on hope, sacrifice and the struggle to build a better future.
