The Island is a play written by Athol Fugard, John Kani, and Winston Ntshona. The apartheid-era drama, inspired by a true story, is set in an unnamed prison clearly based on South Africa's notorious Robben Island prison, where Nelson Mandela was held for twenty-seven years. It focuses on two cellmates, one whose successful appeal means that his release draws near and one who must remain in prison for many years to come. They spend their days performing futile physical labor and nights rehearsing in their cell for a performance of Sophocles' Antigone in front of the other prisoners. One takes the part of Antigone, who defies the laws of the state to bury her brother, and the other takes the part of her uncle Creon, who sentences her to die for her crime of conscience.

  • 《아일랜드》(The Island)는 남아프리카 공화국 출신의 연출가이며 극작가인 (Athol Fugard)와 흑인 배우 (John Kani)·(Winston Ntshona)의 합작으로 1972년 작이다. 악명높은 남아연방의 흑백 인종분리정책을 다룬 고발적 작품이기 때문에 1973년에 케이프 타운에서 극단의 단원들만 참석한 가운데 비공개리에 단 한번 공연한 뒤 곧장 외국(영국)으로 진출하여 호평을 받은 이색작이다. 대한민국에서는 극단 '(實驗劇場)'이 구희서(具熙書) 역, 윤호진(尹浩鎭) 연출로 1977년 11월 25일부터 공연하여 1978년 2월까지 장기 공연했다.

One takes the part of Antigone, who defies the laws of the state to bury her brother, and the other takes the part of her uncle Creon, who sentences her to die for her crime of conscience. The play draws parallels between Antigone's situation and the situation of black political prisoners. Tensions arise as the performance approaches, especially when one of the prisoners learns that he has won an early release and the men's friendship is tested. (en)
