Fri 5/24-Sat 6/15
White South African playwright Athol Fugard, now 86, has fought apartheid in his native country since the early 60s, both in his life and his work. His 1972 play Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act, involves a black man and a white woman whose criminal relationship is measured in secret trysts at a library. Eventually, they are reported to the police and arrested.
It’s a change of pace from the usual dark humor and weird, wacky pieces at Tremont’s convergence-continuum theater, which will be staging the play, with in-demand freelance director Terrence Spivey at the helm.
Tickets are $20, $15 for seniors, $10 for students.
