Athol Fugard

    11 giugno 1932

    Athol Fugard è un drammaturgo sudafricano, rinomato per le sue opere profondamente toccanti che affrontano temi di ingiustizia e oppressione. Profondamente plasmato dalle sue esperienze sotto l'apartheid, il suo lavoro è caratterizzato da un crudo realismo e un'intensa emotività. Lo stile distintivo di Fugard offre penetranti intuizioni sulla psiche umana e un esame intransigente delle complessità morali. Spesso ha collaborato strettamente con gli attori, assicurando che i suoi drammi risuonassero con le voci autentiche e le realtà vissute degli emarginati.
