Synopsis
The Captain's Tiger
Published by Samuel French Inc
2 Male 1 Female
This most personal of Athol Fugard's works is strictly autobiographical; at twenty he abandoned his university education, hitch hiked up Africa and ended up on a tramp steamer in Port Sudan
This play reflects his attempts to come to terms with the conflicting emotions evoked by memories of his courageous mother and flawed father
"Charming .... Admire The Captain's Tiger and the lovely way in which it is told" ~ N.Y. Daily News
