Tony Award-winning playwright Athol Fugard’s semi-autobiographical and blistering masterwork explores the nature of friendship, and the ways people are capable of hurting even those they love.
‘Master Harold’… And The Boys is booking until 16 December 2019 at the National Theatre, London.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
