Master Harold… & the Boys Brief Summary: When Harold, a young white man, learns that his alcoholic, handicapped father is returning home, his frustration turns into racist viciousness against the two black men who work for the family.

Play information continued… Master Harold…and the Boys is considered the most autobiographical of Fugard's works As in the play Fugard's own father was a cripple his mother managed a boarding house and a tea room.
