‘Master Harold’ comes to Cape May Stage

 

By On Deck Staff

Cape May Stage presents the sixth production of its 2009 season, “Master Harold… and the Boys,” written by Athol Fugard.
Directed by Liz Swain and featuring Gregg Daniel, Larry Hines and Jared MacGuire, “Master Harold…and the Boys” will preview Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. and continue through Nov. 28 at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Bank and Lafayette sts., Cape May.
Recipient of a Drama Desk Award and a Tony Award nomination for Best Play in 1982, “Master Harold … and the Boys” is considered Athol Fugard’s masterpiece, valued for both its universal themes of humanity and its skilled theater craft.
Set in South Africa during the 1950s era of apartheid, it depicts how those who live under it can absorb institutionalized racism.
Hally, a white 17-year-old (Jared MacGuire) spends time with Willie (Larry Hines) and Sam (Gregg Daniel), two African workers he has known all his life, and through their conversations on one rainy day we see what unites and divides them.
Daniel has had a recurring role on Desperate Housewives, roles on Ghost Whisperer, Monk, Nip/Tuck, Crossing Jordan, Curb Your Enthusiasm, ER, The West Wing, Ally McBeal and Seinfeld among others.
“Master Harold…and the Boys” performances are Wednesdays through Sundays at 8 p.m.
Call 609-884-1341 for tickets and information, or visit www.capemaystage.com.
Audio enhancement, wheelchair accessible seating, and large print programs are available with advance notice by calling the box office.
