 Remy Bumppo Theatre Company PresentsThe Island
By Athol Fugard
January 27 – March 7, 2010
Upstairs Mainstage
Directed By James Bohnen
Featuring LaShawn Banks
Athol Fugard's daring drama is set in an unnamed prison based on Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held. John and Winston are cellmates who spend their days doing back-breaking labor, and their nights rehearsing Sophocles' Antigone to present to their fellow inmates. Fugard plays the parallels between Antigone's fight against political and patriarchal boundaries off of the imprisoned men's fight for their dignity. The Island is a testament to the resiliency of the human heart.
