By Adam Farabee | March 27"'Master Harold'... and the boys" is an intense, striking piece of theater brought to life by PlayMakers' strongest production of the year.Athol Fugard has created a brilliant play with a story that examines the hatred and pain that spring from prejudice. Set in the 1950s in South Africa, the play centers on three characters forced to come to terms with South Africa's racial policies under apartheid. Sam and Willie (Tyrone Mitchell Henderson) are waiters in Hally's family tea shop.
