Signature Announces WORLD OF THE PLAY Discussion, 9/15
Signature Theatre has announced a "World of the Play" discussion for Athol Fugard's The Train Driver on Saturday, September 15 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre Lobby at The Pershing Square Signature Center (480 West 42nd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues). The event, which will be focused on post-apartheid South Africa, is free and open to the general public (no reservations required).
Signature Theatre's "World of the Play" discussion series continues with a panel of experts discussing South Africa today. Eighteen years after the end of apartheid, where has the struggle for freedom taken this country and how far does it have to go to complete that transition? How has South Africa dealt with its past and what still needs to be done for it to move forward? Join us as we examine the urgent issues facing this country and how Athol Fugard confronts them in The Train Driver, including collective personal responsibility and the need to account for all, even the nameless ones.
Signature, its productions and its resident writers have been recognized with a Pulitzer Prize, fourteen Lucille Lortel Awards, sixteen Obie Awards, six Drama Desk Awards and twenty-two AUDELCO Awards, among many other distinctions. The National Theatre Conference recognized the company as the 2003 Outstanding National Theatre of the Year. For more information on Signature please visit us on-line at signaturetheatre.org.
