Master Harold and The Boys

This famous Athol Fugard play hits the big screens this week, but I’m not sure it’s going to be a bit hit. A story about a white South African kid and his relationship with the black waiters who work at his father’s restaurant, it seems odd to be releasing it now. Perhaps many filmmakers still feel the apartheid stories must be told. It’s not a bad interpretation, but it’s better on stage, with real South African actors.
