Against the backdrop of post-Apartheid South Africa, Athol Fugard conjures up the plight of ordinary people. A timeless story of the old, fearful of change, and the young, yearning to run into the future. This is the moving story of a grandfather’s love for his dutiful grandchild. He wants her to stay with him and continue to sing her haunting valley songs. But she longs for the bright lights of the city, to sing the popular songs of a new age.
