Professor Chris Thurman joins John Maytham for a tribute to the legendary playwright Athol Fugard. A fearless critic of apartheid, Fugard’s deeply human storytelling shaped theatre both locally and globally. From The Blood Knot to “Master Harold”…and the Boys, his works challenged injustice and amplified silenced voices. They explore his impact on stage, film, and academia, his fight against censorship, and the lasting relevance of his work. How will Fugard’s legacy continue to shape South African theatre and literature?
