Includes a black & white image of a woman. Also includes the texts: '"Boesman and Lena is a terrifying cry from Fugard on behalf of the underdog. Its production in no way exaggerates or underestimates the reality of life in South Africa today. Confined to its South African context, it is an intimate and moving social documentary to shame all thinking people." Sunday Mail / 76. "This production, performed on stage bare except for a few bits of junk, is a commanding example of how much can be done in a theatre when a play is ribbed with truth and shaped by a real artist, and when the actors and director have an exact understanding of the author's intentions. The performances by Olive Bodill and Anthony Wheeler are superb." The Herald (Melbourne) / 76. "Dramatic high point of Adelaide Festival last year" says Australian National Times. August 26, 27; 8.15pm. Book at the D.I.C. Tickets: $4.70; $3.70. Two public shows only at the State Opera House. This production is part of the New Zealand Students Arts Council's National Festival of the Arts, Wellington, August 20-27.
