Consequently, powerful plays such as \u003cem\u003eThe Blood Knot\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSizwe Banzi is Dead\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eMaster Harold... and the boys\u003c\/em\u003e came to broadcast the inequities of the Apartheid-era to the world. Fugard’s work retains an insistent influence, and is studied and performed the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlan Shelley’s\u003c\/em\u003e study is an accessible but profound analysis of the man, his work and its influence, the social injustices that drive him, and the lives of those who people his remarkable plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595724308716,"sku":"9781840028218","price":91.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781840028218-athol-fugard.jpg?v=1777905011","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/athol-fugard-by-alan-shelley-9781840028218","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
