- Fugard, Athol (Harold Lannigan)
-
born June 11, 1932, Middleburg, S.Af.
South African playwright, director, and actor.
He wrote two plays before
The Blood Knot (1961), a penetrating analysis of apartheid, established his international reputation. He resumed the theme in
Hello and Goodbye (1965) and
Boesman and Lena (1969; film, 1973, with Fugard as Boesman). He experimented with an imagist approach to drama in
Orestes (1971) and three other works, then returned to more traditionally structured plays. His
"Master Harold"...and the Boys (1982),
The Road to Mecca (1984), and
My Children! My Africa! (1989) were acclaimed in London and New York City. Fugard acted in the films
Marigolds in August (1980),
Gandhi (1982), and
The Killing Fields (1984).
