Imagine that, in the waning years of South Africa's apartheid regime, a new play premieres at a major off-Broadway theater examining the relationships between a group of intelligent, attractive South African whites. Some of these white characters are staunchly pro-apartheid, while others are more ambivalent, though even these ambivalent characters ultimately agree that their ethnic heritage binds their community together and needs to be preserved. One character even becomes anti-apartheid over the course of the play, and her anti-apartheid stances generate some of the play's conflict, partly because her insistence that white South Africa is built on brutality and oppression sometimes makes her a lousy friend to her racist compatriots. Despite these characters' differences, the play ends on a hopeful note as the whites sit down for a classic South African barbecue, putting politics aside to share food and camaraderie, the white South African way.
