In South African playwright Athol Fugard’s Valley Song, Abraam “Buks” Jonkers meditates on a life spent working a white landowner’s property, while his granddaughter dreams of the new opportunities opening up for her on the Johannesburg stage. Both the transformative power of theatre and the end of apartheid come under review in this Pacific Theatre production, which runs at the Chalmers Heritage Building from Friday (March 24) to April 8.
