Valley Song - Paperback
by Athol Fugard (Author)
The first post-apartheid play by one of the greatest playwrights in South Africa and the world, Valley Song is a coming-of-age story about a young girl seeking the courage to embrace the future while her grandfather searches for the wisdom to let go of the past.
Rarely has a playwright been so closely identified with his country and his people as Athol Fugard. Fugard's extensive body of work has served as one of the moral beacons in the bleak world of South Africa, and now, in Valley Song - this coming-of-age story about a young girl seeking the courage to embrace the future while her grandfather searches for the wisdom to let go of the past - he applies his great gift to the work of healing and of envisioning the future.
The New Yorker has said of Athol Fugard, A rare playwright, who could be a primary candidate for either the Nobel Prize in Literature or the Nobel Peace Prize. His major works for the stage include: Blood Knot; Master Harold...and the boys; My Children! My Africa!; A Lesson from Aloes; The Road to Mecca; Valley Song; and The Captain's Tiger.
