"In every corner of being myself there is a little of you left and now I must start to lose it."
A white librarian and a coloured schoolteacher in South Africa in the 1960s discover their love is easily fractured by apartheid.
On a bare stage, the pastiche of conversations and monologues mirrors the changeability of human connection: of suddenly discovered sympathies and the chasms created by misunderstanding and shame. Fugard's play shows the painful truth that apartheid's most exacting humiliation was the stripping of dignity and selfhood. In sparse, resonant language the truth is clear: there can be no intimacy where there is no equality.
University of Oxford student company Nous Theatre is proud to present Athol Fugard's 'Statements after an Arrest under the Immorality Act', which, together with 'Sizwe Bansi is Dead' and 'The Island', forms the heart of Athol Fugard's early work.
