I've really enjoyed everything I've read by Fugard. ("Master Harold and the Boys" is an achievement.) Drama is my main scholarly interest, and Fugard's plays are ripe with structuralist juiciness. The man can seriously construct a piece of literature. You're spot-on with the comparison to Brecht, too.
I purchased most of these books (I'm in a graduate class in 3rd world post-colonial lit right now). I probably wouldn't have trouble finding them in the library, at least in MO with its state-wide college and university inter-library loan system.
