Playwright Athol Fugard, who chronicled apartheid and its aftermath, dies at 92

In 2012, playwright Athol Fugard, who was then 80, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2012/08/02/157732975/playwright-fugard-bucked-south-africas-racist-ideas"target="_blank" >said,</a> "I have a greater sense of adventure at this moment in my life than I ever had in the past." Fugard is pictured above in February 1985.

The celebrated South African playwright was known for Blood Knot, The Road to Mecca and "Master Harold"...and the Boys. He said his job was to make "leaps out of my reality and into other realities."
