Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's current production is set in South Africa but will have people thinking about race everywhere.
South African playwright AtholFugard has written some great and important plays in his long career. His work has, in a sense, been a chronicle of the turbulent relations between races in that country as it has evolved through the second half of the 20th Century into the 21st.
Fugard’s latest work will get its Midwest premiere in Milwaukee this week. The Train Driveris inspired by a true story of a railroad man searching for the identities of a mother and child accidentally killed by his train.
Milwaukee Chamber Theatre’s production stars a two-man cast, David Daniel and Michael A. Torrey. The actors talk with Lake Effect’s Bonnie North about what makes Fugard’s work important to them
The Train Driver runs through March 15th at the Broadway Theater Center’s Studio Theatre in the 3rd Ward.
