SEVEN GUITARS
July 31- September 23, 2006
By August Wilson
Directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson
With Kevin Carroll, Cassandra Freeman, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Brenda Pressley, Lance Reddick, Roslyn Ruff, and Charles Weldon
Hope and heartbreak abound in Pittsburgh's Hill District as seven people share frustration, joy and loss in 1948. Floyd “Schoolboy” Barton, an aspiring blues musician, returns home to seek his fortune and reclaim his woman; a sick old man longs for an heir to carry on his name; and three single women cope with betrayal and lost dreams. Like seven musical instruments, each one strikes a singular note in a discordant world.

I had a 15.00 ticket for Monday night so i went to Manhattan to take in this interesting Play. I havent seen any august wilson before and will try to catch the next one too.. HIs imagery, use of black americans vs west indians and use of cultural items is interesting. the plot was good and acting suburb...
i loved seven guitars though it was a little long in parts
