The Roundabout Theatre Company brings The Road to Mecca, Athol
Fugard's 1988 play based on a true story, to Broadway for the first
time.
Set in South Africa's Karoo region, Mecca follows the story of
the
aged Miss Helen (Rosemary Harris) who appears to no longer be able to
take
care of herself or her home — which over the years she has transformed
into
an intricate work of outsider art. Pastor Marius Byleveld (Jim Dale) is
determined to place her in an old age home, while her younger friend
Elsa (Carla Gugino) is determined to make sure she retains her freedom.
Gordon Edelstein (The Homecoming) directs. For more on the show, click here.
