"Master Harold" is a play written by Athol Fugard, a South African playwright and novelist. The story follows the relationship with the two waiters he grew up with in his mother's teashop. It's a coming-of-age drama, with guest artists Tyler Madden, E.M. Harris, and Jacob McGaughey, a U of I Theatre Arts student from Coeur d'Alene.
“The play’s powerful image of ballroom dancing as a metaphor for understanding and cooperation is what moves us as an audience,” said Robert Caisley, producing artistic director of IRT.
“’Master Harold’ makes it appear as though the hard work of conquering racism is past us,” said guest director Baron Kelly, a professor of theatre at University of Wisconsin-Madison. “It is easy to watch this play in a comfortable seat and imagine that the monsters of yesterday are secure in the closet or even vanquished to the shadows completely. My hope is that the challenging viewing of this play is to witness it and realize that the monsters have escaped again, that this play not only depicts our past but our possible future as well.”
