Janie and I rated this one very highly…
Really good
…says my log.
I had been a fan of Athol Fugard for many years by then and was very keen to see his long-time associates, John Kani & Winston Ntshona, perform. A set up that can lead to disappointment, but in this instance my enthusiasm was fully justified.
Here is the Theatricalia entry for this production.
Charles Spencer in the Telegraph loved it:

One of those special nights at the theatre, for us, this was.
