VALLEY Song, Athol Fugard's latest play and his first since the end of apartheid, is a simple tale of Veronica's (Esmeralda Bihl) desire to leave her small time town to succeed as a singer in Johannesburg and her grandfather's (Don Foley) equally strong belief that she should stay at home. However, Fugard's clear sighted complexity, Caroline Fitzgerald's fine direction and exuberant, versatile performances by Bihl and Foley, allow a multitude of emotional and political themes to be subtly played out.
