The Fountain Theatre presents the U.S. premiere of Athol Fugard's latest play, about two young black South Africans who burglarize the house of a retired white professor. Stephen Sachs directs a strong cast in a compelling, if too brief, look at race and national denial.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed VICTORY at the Fountain Theatre. I have seen many productions there and expect no less than excellence, and I am never disappointed, but VICTORY was so outstanding that I had to write you to tell you about my experience. The writing was perfection, the set stunning in detail, and the 3 actors executed a complete and beautiful vision so heartbreaking I had tears in my eyes for almost the entire 70 minutes.

"Victory" was hands down the favorite show we saw when here or 10 days. We loved the intimacy of the theater, and the three actors, and the story. I appreciated the experience tremendously, because we were so immersed in the drama, it felt like we were in a different world. That's rare! made me LA proud. Thanks for the bristling-good production.

I am writing to recommend an outstanding and powerful play that I saw last night. I have seen a number of Fugard's plays, this short one the most brilliant, I think, with many layers of meaning - psychological, philosophical, allegorical, political and historical, with echoes of Camus, Coetzee, Orwell and Sophocles. It is about the end of hope, but also about aborted mourning, racism, sexism, tyranny and the law of unintended consequences, among other issues. Also brilliantly acted and produced. My adopted country of America could learn something from this play. So could we all. Don't miss it!
