Synopsis

The Captain's Tiger

$10.99

Athol Fugard

Published by Samuel French Inc

2 Male 1 Female

On board the SS Graigaur a young sailor begins to pen his first novel. Assisted by his muse, a portrait of his mother come to life, and supported by his friend, an illiterate ship's mechanic, he struggles to balance romance and reality

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
