The story

What Is National Theatre Live: ’Master Harold’… and the boys About?

The premise of National Theatre Live: ’Master Harold’… and the boys without spoilers.

In 1950s Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Sam and Willie rehearse for a ballroom dancing competition while young Hally seeks refuge in his parents’ tea room. Their unlikely friendship is tested by the realities of apartheid, where Hally, as “Master Harold,” holds a position of power over the two men. This semi-autobiographical work by Tony Award-winning playwright Athol Fugard powerfully examines the complexities of friendship and the potential for inflicting pain, even on those we cherish.
