Athol Fugard

    11 juni 1932

    Athol Fugard is een Zuid-Afrikaanse toneelschrijver, bekend om zijn diep aangrijpende toneelstukken die thema's als onrechtvaardigheid en onderdrukking behandelen. Diepgaand gevormd door zijn ervaringen onder de apartheid, wordt zijn werk gekenmerkt door rauw realisme en emotionele intensiteit. Fugards kenmerkende stijl biedt indringende inzichten in de menselijke psyche en een compromisloos onderzoek naar morele complexiteiten. Hij werkte vaak nauw samen met acteurs, om ervoor te zorgen dat zijn drama's resoneerden met de authentieke stemmen en geleefde realiteiten van de gemarginaliseerden.
