With lyrical grace, Fugard demonstrates the human struggle to transcend the treacherous injustices of history.

Sorrows and Rejoicings explores the legacy of Apartheid on two women--one white, the other Black--who on the surface seem to have little in common. What they do share is love for the same man: a white poet who is attached to the semi-desert Karoo land of South Africa. The drama moves between past and present, reliving the poet's despondent years in exile and his eventual return to a new South Africa, where he lives out his final years. His passing leaves the two women struggling to reconcile the secrets of his past, and their hopes for a post-Apartheid South Africa.
