I took like a whole week or more to read this (not cause it’s slow or anything but because it’s a play that we’re reading in school and the “code of conduct” was to not finish it early and actually stick with the analysis reading that is done in the class :/ )

Also I know that if we deconstruct the text in a much deeper way, then there’s probably a lot more to it than we could normally comprehend but unfortunately it’s just not my type; apart from that, this is a great play!

Belinda Foo

An argument between Master Harold, a seventeen-year-old South African, and Sam, the black man employed at Harold's mother's restaurant, makes them reevaluate their friendship.
