Elliot Leffler Research on Cape Town's Baxter Theatre's "South African Waiting for Godot" Research assistant funding: “During the 1970s and 1980s, many South African theatrical productions toured internationally, showcasing the abuses of apartheid. It is generally assumed that these productions bolstered the international anti-apartheid movement, though it is always difficult to assess the impact of theatre on international geopolitics. I am conducting research that hopes to elucidate under what circumstances these touring productions may have fueled the movement, and under what circumstances they may have actually run at cross-purposes. To do so, I'm conducting a detailed history of a little-known and highly unusual production of Cape Town's Baxter Theatre. The production – a South African Waiting for Godot – was understood in some places as a critique of apartheid, and in other places, it was deemed "part and parcel of the South African propaganda machine" (Shulman, Etlin). |
