Master Harold and the BoysMaster Harold and the BoysThe play Master Harold and the Boys by Athol Fugard takes place in a small Tea House in Port Elizabeth in South Africa. The play starts off with Sam and Willie, two black servants at the restaurant cleaning and talking about a ballroom dance tournament coming up. Hally, a teenage white boy whose parents own the restaurant walks in after coming from school and begins to have a conversation with Sam and Willie. In the period of only an hour and a half or so, Sam, Willie, and Hally give a small glimpse of a very big problem. Through past memories they talk about the differences between the white and the blacks from education, to employment, to overall segregation, and to the relationships blacks and whites have with each other.
The play ends after a while with Hally taking a break, holding a book in his hands. During that moment, Hally is taken to the other side of the stage and his eyes light up with tears as he is transported to another life, on another planet. An interesting and interesting ending indeed. The music is very reminiscent of the music in the film. The music in this film is often very dark as opposed to the traditional black-ish music (the band members use a lot of instrumentals) yet there is something in the music that feels unique. You won’t find much to distinguish the original music from the more recent or new music in this movie. The music was very varied on both physical and musical settings. For example as was stated in the film, a piece of music was placed in the music that the band would repeat a song from. For each song, the song would repeat for a certain duration. This takes us to: a. The story of Mr Halbert. In the first few episodes we are introduced to the father with a sense of what he is up to. We get to see him take in the small African land of Pretoria in what is not a typical African place. The first shot of this scene goes for 1.5 hours and ends right before the opening sequence. At the beginning, this scene is followed by the rest of the shot of Mr Halbert but this is the only scene in which the film has the whole scene. At another point, we arrive at Mr Halbert after our first walk of shame into the reality of the people on this planet, our people. Mr Halbert has a very important role to play in bringing about some resolution for his people. The music is always very dark when compared to the music in the film. Even as the picture begins to move, you can still feel the music moving through it which can also make you want to sit down to listen more then the last part. Another interesting thing is that we also hear the song played in the other parts of the soundtrack. We always have our favorite song played for you after the credits roll. Since this movie begins with Mr F and his family the music gets played in the middle of the credits and the next few credits. We are introduced to a couple of different characters, which can be found in other versions of this film. One is The Big King of Madagascar, the son of an African warlord who has been living in South Africa for 25 years and we are introduced to him later in the movie. He has a family to share his suffering with, especially with the father. At the end he is seen eating a banana. Another character in this film from The Big King of Madagascar is Father Ollie as he is an orphan. We hear the story of Father Ollie along with many other villagers who have suffered while being brought in to be an orphan so you can always see them struggling with this terrible situation. There is another character who is also brought in as he is the mother of a child. This character is named Father Ollie so you can also hear his

In the play, Sam and Willie play servants who work at a restaurant owned by Hally’s parents. They have a low level job and aren’t paid much. They are ordered around to basically do everything from cleaning the floors to serving the food. While Hally’s parents sit back and reap all the profits, Sam and Willie work hard to barely get paid anything. Hally and Sam later have a discussion about the Jubilee House, which was a boarding house Hally’s parents used to own. Hally describes the Jubilee house as not the best times of his life. Sam and Willie were also servants at the Jubilee house and they lived in the servants’ quarters, which was separate from the boarding house.
After Hally comes home from school, Sam takes a look at some of his books and asks him questions about what he doesn’t understand or know. They go on to have a discussion about “Men of Magnitude” trying to agree on someone they both think has made an important contribution to the world. After suggesting several names, Sam and Hally eventually agree on Sir Alexander Fleming, the inventor/discoverer of penicillin, as being a man of magnitude who has done something to benefit the world. Sam is very motivated to learn but he never had the opportunity since he is black and the education system for blacks is much poorer than for whites. For years when Hally was in school, Sam would take a peek at his books or ask him questions about what he was learning. Sam is very motivated to learn and since he never had the opportunity to go to school, he had to learn secondhand from what Hally was learning. Sam credits himself as the reason why Hally started doing better in school. They pushed each other to learn more and do better.
The play gives a couple of examples of everyday segregation. One of the first examples also is tied in with the working conditions during the apartheid era. Sam and Willie are servants, which is a low level job. Also, they happen to work in an all white city, and the only reason they are allowed to be in that city is because they work there. Another example is when Sam and Hally are flying the kite, and Sam tells Hally that
