The Island By Athol Fugard Pdf To Excel
The Island is a play written Athol Fugard, John Kani, and Winston Ntshona. The performance is a collaboration between KININSO KONCEPTS AND AROJAH THEATRE. The apartheid-era drama, inspired by a true story, is set in an unnamed prison clearly based on South Africa's notorious Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for twenty-seven years. It focuses on two cellmates, one whose successful appeal means that his release draws near and one who must remain in prison for many years to come.
They spend their days performing futile physical labor and nights rehearsing in their cell for a performance of Sophocles' Antigone in front of the other prisoners. One takes the part of Antigone, who defies the laws of the state to bury her brother, and the other takes the part of her uncle Creon, who sentences her to die for her crime of conscience. The play draws parallels between Antigone's situation and the situation of black political prisoners. Tensions arise as the performance approaches, especially when one of the prisoners learns that he has won an early release and the men's deep friendship is tested. The Island bears testament to the resiliency of the human heart.
The Island was devised by Athol Fugard, John Kani, and Winston Ntshona. The play is based both on the improvisations on information received about condi- tions at Robben Island prison and also on the true story of prisoners enacting Sophocles’ Antigone as a vehicle of self-expression and act of protest.

Alternative Title: Athol Harold Lannigan Fugard Athol Fugard, in full Athol Harold Lannigan Fugard, (born June 11, 1932, Middelburg, South Africa), South African dramatist, actor, and director who became internationally known for his penetrating and pessimistic analyses of South African society during the period. Fugard’s earliest plays were No-Good Friday and Nongogo (both published in Dimetos and Two Early Plays, 1977), but it was The Blood Knot (1963), produced for stage (1961) and television (1967) in both London and, that established his reputation. The Blood Knot, dealing with brothers who fall on opposite sides of the racial colour line, was the first in a sequence Fugard called “The Family Trilogy.” The series continued with Hello and Goodbye (1965) and Boesman and Lena (1969) and was later published under the title Three Port Elizabeth Plays (1974). Boesman and Lena, filmed in 1973 with Fugard as Boesman, played to a wider audience than any previous South African play; another was released in 2000. Fugard’s willingness to sacrifice character to symbolism caused some critics to question his commitment. Provoked by such, Fugard began to question the nature of his art and his emulation of European dramatists.

He began a more imagist approach to, not using any prior script but merely giving actors what he called “a mandate” to work around “a cluster of images.” From this technique derived the imaginative if shapeless drama of Orestes (published in Theatre One: New South African Drama, 1978), and the documentary expressiveness of Sizwe Banzi Is Dead (revised as Sizwe Bansi Is Dead), The Island, and Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act (all published in Statements: Three Plays, 1974). A much more traditionally structured, Dimetos (1977), was performed at the 1975 Edinburgh Festival. A Lesson from Aloes (published 1981) and “Master Harold”and the Boys (1982) were performed to much acclaim in London and New York City, as was The Road to Mecca (1985; film 1992), the story of an older woman about to be confined against her will in a.
Throughout the 1970s and ’80s Fugard worked to create and sustain theatre groups that, despite South African drama’s particular vulnerability to, produced plays defiantly indicting the country’s policy. After the dismantling of apartheid laws in 1990–91, Fugard’s focus turned increasingly to his personal history. In 1994 he published the Cousins, and throughout the 1990s he wrote plays—including Playland (1992), Valley Song (1996), and The Captain’s Tiger (1997)—that have strong autobiographical elements. Subsequent plays include Sorrows and Rejoicings (2002), about a poet who returns to after years of exile; Victory (2009), a stark examination of postapartheid South Africa; and The Train Driver (2010), an allegorical meditation on white South Africans’ guilt about apartheid. Films in which Fugard acted include Marigolds in August (1980; written with Ross Devenish) and The Killing Fields (1984). Fugard also wrote the novel (1980; film 2005).
