Shadow Of The Hummingbird eBook

A legendary playwright mines the depth of the human heart

The Shadow of the Hummingbird tells the story of an ailing man in his eighties and the afternoon spent with his ten-year-old grandson. In a charming meditation on the beauty and transience of the world around us, Fugard mined the depths of the human spirit with profound empathy and heart. The text of the play includes an introductory Prelude by Paula Fourie with extracts from Fugard’s unpublished notebooks.
