Concerning The Life Of Babyboy Kleintjies – The Fugard

The Fugard Theatre presents the world premiere of Concerning the Life of Babyboy Kleintjies, a new play by Athol Fugard and Paula Fourie.

On a Stellenbosch winter’s night, a trio of beggars – Lappies, Riempie and Vink – sheltering under a road bridge over the Eersteriver are joined by a young vagrant woman, Marie, who brings with her an unexpected find. Their night spent together huddled under the bridge rushes to a violent conclusion during which the beggars and Marie – so too, the actors and the audience – are confronted with harsh truths about themselves and the society we live in.

Joined now by Fourie, this play represents Fugard’s opportunity to fulfil a promise made to Barney Simon and Berthold Brecht nearly sixty years ago.
