Playing: A Fair Country
From: L.A. Theatre Works

51utzkxqndl For nearly fifty years, South Africa was sharply divided by apartheid: the legal system of racial segregation that gave minority rule to the country’s white leadership. And although apartheid was formally abolished in the early 1990s, it still penetrates every aspect of South African society today.

In A Fair Country by Jon Robin Baitz, we witness the devastation that comes from trying to do “the right thing” in a place where everyone is complicit in perpetuating the policies of a racist government.
