The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek (TCG Edition)

by Athol Fugard

Overview

“Tender, ruminative… Fugard has been anatomizing the evils of apartheid, and the troubling legacies it left behind, throughout his long and distinguished career.” —Charles Isherwood, New York Times

Inspired by the life of Nukain Mabuza, a self-taught artist who painted the boulders on the farm on which he worked, The Painted Rocks at Revolver Creek observes two differing experiences with racism, in the decades during and following apartheid, while ultimately illuminating the meaning of preserving the history of one’s own past.

Editorial Reviews

"No voice in today’s theater cries out with such compelling pathos and beauty as that of Athol Fugard, a painter of stage stories that, even after more than five decades, continues to throb with life, urgency and insistence."

Deadline - Jeremy Gerard

"A script of plainspoken eloquence… You’d have to have a heart of granite not to be moved watching empathy tentatively bloom in a garden of rocks."

NY Daily News - Joe Dziemianowicz

"Simply constructed yet highly affecting… South African playwright Athol Fugard remains a vital chronicler of the political, moral and spiritual damage wreaked in his country by apartheid."

LA Times - Charles McNulty
