2 Male, 1 Female

“The play is carefully structured as a dance first with Lena’s solo, then with a pas de deux , then with Boesman’s verbal self expression.

“Athol Fugard, the South African playwright, has written some fine plays, but certainly none better than the amazing Boesman and Lena , which is great; absolutely superb” ~ ABC TV
