Living Light Theatre
Presents
Athol Fugard's
Master Harold... and the Boys
Living Light Theatre, San Diego's newest performing arts company, presents South African playwright Athol Fugard's heartwrenching drama, Master Harold...and the Boys. An ordinary rainy afternoon in 1950s South Africa turns into a profound and life-changing experience for young, white Harold and the beloved black servants who have been his surrogate fathers. Faced with the return of his tyrannical father, Harold transfers his anger and pain to his servants, transforming their relationship for the first time from childhood friends and companions into subservient help. Winner of the 1982 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play, Master Harold... is a stunning masterpiece, one of the most powerful coming-of-age plays ever written, and a timely, compelling and moving drama. Initially banned in South Africa, this powerful commentary depicts how institutionalized racism and bigotry become absorbed by those who live within the system.
2012 marks the 30th Anniversary of this award-winning drama, and Living Light Theatre's special production soars with Austyn Myers in the title role. Last year, young Austyn Myers delighted San Diego audiences with his portrayal of "Eugene" in Brighton Beach Memoirs and Lost In Yonkers at The Old Globe Theatre. In 2007, Austyn delighted New York audiences with his portrayal of "Gavroche" in the Broadway revival of Les Miserables. In 2008, Austyn made his film debut starring as Eddie Murphy's young sidekick in "Meet Dave." Now, in 2012, Austyn Myers has founded Living Light Theatre Company, a professional, grass-roots theatre troupe with a mission.
Austyn has teamed up veteran actors Shaun T. Evans ("Sam") and Vimel Sephus ("Willie") to bring this important piece to the stage. Corporate and individual sponsorship opportunities are available for this amazing production. See LLT's web site for details.
