Tsotsi is an angry young gang leader in the South African township of Sophiatown. A man without a past, he exists only to kill and steal. But when he captures a woman one night, in a moonlit grove of bluegum trees, she shoves a shoebox into his arms: the box contains a baby and his life is inexorably changed. He begins to remember his childhood and rediscover the self he left behind.

Adapted into an Oscar award-winning feature film in 2006, Tsotsi's raw power and rare humanity show how decency and compassion can survive against the odds.

Outstanding . . . Fugard sets his intense scenes before a palpable void . . . one is left with an impression of both fierce instinct and fine shading * * Daily Telegraph * *
