So I'm weeks away from graduating and in these final weeks, I've chosen to Direct a studio production of Blood Knot by South African playwright Athol Fugard. Because it's considered a class project, it is not being advertised outside of my program but I am happy to share what's going on with me these days.
I was introduced to this play in my first year of graduate school and I knew that I would have to interact with this play again. It is the story of two South African brothers living together under Apartheid rule. Both brothers are black but one brother is light enough to pass for white. It is a tale of dreams and responsibilities in a world defined by racism. I'm working with a fantastic team and I'm so excited to share our work.
