THEATER VOICES, a not-for-profit company of theater professionals presenting works emphasizing the language of the playwright, will host four free staged reading performances of “Valley Song” by Athol Fugard over the weekend of March 22-24, 2024.
THE STORY: A poor yet dignified war veteran who is devoted to his vegetable furrows in a remote South African province, Buks is anxious to shield his dreamy, restless granddaughter Veronica from temptations beyond the valley. She is equally anxious to be a singer in faraway Johannesburg. Her self-made songs brim with the longings of youth, seeking the courage to embrace the future while her grandfather searches for the wisdom to let go of the past.
