A classic by one of the best playwrights of the 20th century. Hally is a white boy in 1950s South Africa. Sam and Willie are black men who work at his family's restaurant.

The three share lessons learned and fond memories, but when news comes that Hally's alcoholic father will return home, the personal becomes political.
