Boesman and Lena

on BBC Radio 3

by Athol Fugard
Starring Athol Fugard and Yvonne Bryceland
With Alton Kumalo

The play is set on the mud flats at Swartkops, South Africa, where an ageing coloured couple settle, having been driven from their shanty-home by demolition men.

"This production will remain in the memory for the power, the strong conviction and overwhelming virtuosity of Yvonne Brucelaiid's performance." (The Stage)
"Radio drama, even when it's only fair to middling has special rewards. When it's outstanding, as with Boesman and Lena, it is something in which to feel particular pride." (The Daily Telegraph)

The play has been arranged for radio and directed by Christopher Venning
