$15 - $69 Box Office: 415.749.2ACT

Description by Athol Fugard Directed by Charles Randolph-Wright Music composed and recorded by Tracy Chapman "A contemporary classic . . . A profoundly human experience." The New York Times Blood Knot tells the story of two brothers trapped in the madness of apartheid South Africa. One is light-skinned enough to pass for white, the other is unmistakably black. Living together in a tumbledown shack, they wrestle with the terms of their fates and dreams—and long-simmering tensions explode over a woman. A.C.T.'s new production of Fugard's revolutionary breakthrough play, which first opened in 1961, holds a mirror up to the soul-searing effects of racism while exploring the inextricable bond between brothers. On the Blog A.C.T. is excited to announce an online blog dedicated to Blood Knot. Join the actors, director, and artistic staff throughout the season as they prepare for this powerful and moving production. The journey begins with a special trip to South Africa, where actors Steven Anthony Jones and Jack Willis share their day-to-day experiences as they dive into the history of Athol Fugard's play and connect with the locals in Cape Town. See what they have to say on the Blood Knot blog. Check back often for updates! http://bloodknot-act.blogspot.com
