“Master Harold”… and the boys Performance

A table read of Athol Fughard’s Apartheid Drama “Master Harold”… and the boys took place for the sophomores on Tuesday, May 4 during 8th period. It was optional for the sophomores to attend, but sophomore English teachers offered extra credit for those in attendance. As opposed to a traditional play, the actors (Alex Bollini as “Hally,” Albert Harrold as “Sam,” and Donovan Meachem as “Willie”) read their lines seated on benches on the stage. Despite the lack of physical acting, the verbal performances were still an enriching experience for students who had read the play earlier in the year.
