	_STATEMENTS AFTER AN ARREST UNDER THE IMMORALITY ACT_

	____

	BY ATHOL FUGARD, DIRECTED BY TERRENCE SPIVEY

	at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113  (Tremont
neighborhood)

	Set in apartheid South Africa, where relationships across the color
bar were a criminal offence, two lovers - a black man and white woman
meet secretly in the library where the woman works to make love and
share their hopes and fears. An observant neighbour reports them to
the police who secretly photographs them from the informant's backyard
and eventually break in and arrest the couple under the then inhuman
and universally pilloried Immorality Act. The play is a compelling and
deeply moving love story in which the physically and emotionally naked
lovers expose not only their bodies but also their deepest longings
for personal and emotional freedom.
