HELLO AND GOODBYE
BY ATHOL FUGARD

DIRECTED BY LUDA LOPATINA SOLOMON

Featuring Jaimelyn Gray and Aaron Lawson

May 1 - June 6, 2015

Prop Theatre, 3502 N. Elston Ave.

It's 1965 in the white slums of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Hello and Goodbye is the story of Johnny and Hester Smit, a brother and sister. Johnny has been looking after his father, a former railway worker who was disabled in an explosion. Hester, Johnny's older sister, returns after a 15-year estrangement. As one of Fugard's early works, Hello and Goodbye is largely apolitical, more focusing on family dynamics and the feelings of what one is "owed."

"intense, intimate...the strength of the production rests on powerful, rock solid performances by the cast." -- Edge Media Network
