DIMETOS

by Athol Fugard
19 March – 9 May 2009

‘Man is the only animal to be trapped by time.’

Exhausted with life in the city as a highly skilled engineer, Dimetos escapes to a remote coastal village with his niece and housekeeper in search of a simpler existence. Five years on, a stranger from the metropolis arrives to tempt him back with devastating consequences. 

Athol Fugard’s powerful and deeply moving story about love, guilt and retribution, explores faith in a modern world of moral decay.
