I tried to find anything about this play which the article says has "rave reviews." Nothing. This appears to be a non-notable play and does not really need a standalone article. Spongecob Flairpants ( talk) 06:03, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

- Comment. This is a play by a very prominent playwright, Athol Fugard. It has been reviewed in The New York Times and The Guardian, among others. I would think that if this article were improved, the result would likely be a "keep". -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:49, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as @ Metropolitan90: says, there are high quality, in-depth sources in the NY times, Independent, Guardian and so on. I have added several to the article, to confirm the performances. For those who enjoy reading theatre reviews, lots of additional material on plot, actors, roles the like can be gleaned from the these sources. Possibly ( talk) 08:12, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep it needs improvement and some cleanup, but it's a notable play. StarM 14:26, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: An Athol Fugard play is guaranteed to have coverage. The New York Times and Independent sources now used in the article are excellent. — Toughpigs ( talk) 01:24, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
