Eastbound Theatre-My Children! My Africa!

Education, Not Violence, Is the Answer

Generational conflict over the most effective means for ending apartheid in South Africa lead to an explosive confrontation between a gifted but impatient black township youth and his devoted but “old fashioned” black teacher … The unexpected involvement of a young white woman who befriends and learns from both men strips away the political trappings to reveal the human trauma at the heart of South Africa’s … tragedy.
