For me [The Train Driver] is the biggest of them all. Everything I have written before has been a journey to this.—Athol Fugard
The Train Driver is classic Athol Fugard, and considered by the author to be the most important play he has written. This seminal work, inspired by a true story of a mother who, with her three small children, committed suicide on the train tracks outside of Cape Town, South Africa, unfolds as the train driver, tortured by such an act of final despair, seeks to find his own truth with the help of a grave digger who buries the ones without names.
This volume includes Coming Home, Fugard's first work addressing AIDS in South Africa, and Have You Seen Us?, his first play set in America about a South African transplant living in San Diego. Also included are pages from the author's notebooks written in 2000, when he began writing The Train Driver, and an afterword by Marianne McDonald.
