Movie backdrop

St George's Park Tea Room, Port Elizabeth, 1950. On a long rainy afternoon, employees Sam and Willie practise their steps for the finals of the ballroom dancing championship. Hally arrives from school to hide out in his parentsā€™ tea room. These two men have been unlikely best friends to Hally his whole life. But it is apartheid era South Africa: heā€™s Master Harold, and they are the boys. Tony Award-winning playwright Athol Fugardā€™s semi-autobiographical and blistering masterwork explores the nature of friendship, and the ways people are capable of hurting even those they love.
