Contemporary Classics Conversations

HartBeat Ensemble and Capital Classics Theatre Company

PRESENT

Contemporary Classics Conversation

Join us via Zoom for an insightful and lively evening of conversation inspired by Athol Fugard’s one-act play, "Victory." This powerful play examines the despair of many young Black citizens in South Africa who see little prospect of a constructive future.

Set in New South Africa, following the first free election in 1994, "Victory" features two adolescents discovered while robbing a home. Their discovery leads to a night of dialogue, revealing the hardships of living in apartheid-created poverty.

Capital Classics Theatre Company artists will perform scene readings. In between the excerpts, the audience will discuss the play's themes and their relevance and resemblance to our world today.

Contemporary Classics Conversations is hosted by HartBeat Ensemble, produced by Capital Classics Theatre Company, and funded in part by a grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.

Running Time: 90-minutes.

This event will take place on Zoom.
