"Master Harold"...and the Boys at Santa Cruz Shakespeare

Santa Cruz Shakespeare invites you to experience Athol Fugard’s “Master Harold”…and The Boys, under the trees and stars of the Audrey Stanley Grove in Santa Cruz’s DeLaveaga Park this September.
Set in the apartheid era of South Africa, we find ourselves in the tea shop of Harold’s family. Young Hally, who is white, spends the afternoon after school in the shop with two of the family’s servants, Sam and Willie, who are black. Over the course of 90 minutes, we bear witness to the shifting relationship between all of them; a relationship built both on love and respect, as well as one built on bigotry and institutionalized racism. Fugard’s autobiographical masterpiece is both joyous and brutal, with an ending that will leave you both stunned and inspired.
Playwright Fugard’s death in March of this year was a loss to Santa Cruz Shakespeare and the larger theatre community. SCS is especially grateful to produce Fugard’s work this year and honor his legacy.
“Master Harold”… and The Boys runs September 4 through September 20, with Opening Night on September 5.
Tickets available for purchase starting May 1. More information at santacruzshakespeare.org/season-2025
Seasonal box office hours are Tuesday through Friday from 12p.m. to 4p.m. Call 831-460-6399.
