The Road to Mecca (2012)

Athol Fugard’s searing contemporary drama 'The Road to Mecca' received its highly anticipated official Broadway premiere revival at the American Airlines Theatre in 2012 under the auspices of the Roundabout Theatre Company, completing an accomplished commercial residency. The textually rich, claustrophobic psychological narrative unfolds entirely inside a remote, eccentric home in the Karoo desert of South Africa in 1974, tracking Miss Helen, an aging artist who faces a severe crisis when local church authorities try to force her into a sterile home, starring Rosemary Harris and Carla Gugino.
