Set during apartheid South Africa, A Lesson From Aloes follows a liberal white Afrikaner who believes in resistance, his unsettled English wife struggling with the personal costs, and a black activist who has everything to lose, painting a portrait of loyalty, race, sanity, and survival under an oppressive government. Called “The event of the season. Fugard’s profoundest drama yet” by The Christian Science Monitor, this dynamic and timely drama decries racial divides while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
