Setting: Camdeboo, South Africa, 1985
Thami, a black student in an apartheid school is in a debate contest with a white girl from a privileged white school under the direction of Mr. M. Mr. M believes his student Thami is outstanding and has a chance to go far within the limits of blacks in apartheid South Africa--Thami turns to revolution, to break the boundaries that Mr. M sees no way to escape in the short run and turns in the revolutionaries and is subsequently killed by them.
Well acted, another excellent play from the incomparable Mr. Fugard.
