,Based on Alan Paton 's explosive novel about racial tensions in South Africa, this unusual musical adds a richly evocative score and sensitive lyrics to the original drama. The story of a small-town pastor who goes to Johannesburg to find his son, forms the narrative basis to a devastating indictment of the repression and racism that dominate South Africa. Brock Peters repeats his award-winning stage role in this tale of moral courage and integrity.
