Description The famous Market Theatre if Johannesburg brings Playland, the latest work by one of the world's finest playwrights, Athol Fugard. It confronts the questions posed by South Africa today, taking on the themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, hope and self discovery in an explosive but often humourous dialogue between black and white. The performances by two of South Africa's finest actors - the Tony Award winning John Kani and Sean Taylor are extraordinary in their power and humanity.

"The best play to arrive in London." - Financial Times, London.
