''Marigolds in August'' is a play by South Africa's Athol Fugard. ==Plot== The play portrays the tension between three people (two black – one white) trying to make out a living. The play takes place near Port Elizabeth. Daan (a resident in a nearby township where malnutrition and unemployment are rife) is walking to work at an apartheid ''whites-only'' resort where he works as a gardener. He encounters another unemployed black man – Melton – who is desperately looking for work. Daan is worried that Melton's presence will draw attention to him which is a problem as his passbook is no longer valid. The pair struggle and argue and the appearance of a white man – Paulus (a snake catcher) – acts as a catalyst. Daan realises that the apartheid system is often responsible for black-on-black violence. The only way to fight this is solidarity and compassion towards each other. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marigolds in August」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
