Go Behind the Scenes of Blood Knot with Athol Fugard and the Off-Broadway Cast

The dark drama Blood Knot first premiered in South Africa in 1961, during the apartheid era. Now, this historic play is the inaugural production in the brand-new Jewel Box Theatre at the Pershing Square Signature Center, where it opened on February 16. Written and directed by Athol Fugard (who starred as Morris in the original production), Blood Knot is the story of South African brothers who must grapple with isolation, poverty and the blood knot that binds them.
