PATRICK MARMION: Hardship has never appeared so easily borne at the National Theatre this week, where a handful of plays play off the rigours of discrimination, poverty, and displacement. Pearl Cleage's enchanting Blues For An Alabama Sky, a tribute to Harlem's musical and cultural revival during the 1930s' Great Depression. The other is The Boy With Two Hearts, an oddly saccharine saga of an Afghan family fleeing the Taliban and seeking to assist their eldest son's heart disease in the United Kingdom.
