set for a treat of rare occurrence: to enjoy the theatre of Athol Fugard in
the setting that originally inspired the dramatist. Fugard Festival-goers will
be able to view extracts from The Road to Mecca, by Yvonne Batista, who received
the highest award and great praise from the adjudicators for her role as Helen
Martins at the SA Guild of Speech and Drama Eisteddfod in Port Elizabeth last
year. |
