Bagley Wright Theatre The Road to Mecca by Athol Fugard Directed by Leigh Silverman January 15—February 14, 2009 Running Time: 2hrs & 20 minutes
Miss Helen is a reclusive South African artist, living alone in the house she has transformed into a fantastical masterpiece. But when the elderly woman's ability to continue caring for herself is called into question, her two closest friends—a passionate young schoolteacher and the local preacher—battle to influence her uncertain future. Celebrated South African playwright Athol Fugard brings us this stunning emotional drama about the struggle for independence—at every stage of life.
