Athol Fugard, The Blood Knot at ACT Theatre (Feb 8–March 9).

Two South African brothers share a shed during apartheid. One is light skinned enough to pass as white; whereas, the other cannot. What unfolds is an investigation into the very notions of race & the power dynamics, guilt & jealousies that go with it. It's sad that this play is not only still poignant, but very relevent.
