With the recent election of a new President of South Africa, resulting in a probe of the economic and social status of blacks in that country, con-con’s play choice is relevant. Informing of the horrors of apartheid, which seem to parallel the desires of some of US citizens, also makes the topic germane. Unfortunately, the quality of the script and some of the directorial decisions leave the audience wanting.

While
at
times
the
script
tends
to
weaken,
the
totally
(au)
natural
performance
of
the two
principles
helps
make
this
seventy-five
minute theater experience time well spent. This nearly
Shakespearean theme
of
illicit romance
tells
the tale of generations of oppressed blacks and
the whites who loved them
during the reign of apartheid in South Africa
in
a way all can understand.
