Description

This is the next searingly tragic play in a century-spanning project by 'America's greatest living playwright'. "King Hedley II" is the eighth work in August Wilson's 10-play cycle chronicling, decade by decade, the history of the African American experience in the twentieth century. This one is set in the 1980s and tells the story of an ex-con in post-Reagan Pittsburgh trying to rebuild his life. Many critics have hailed the work as a haunting and challenging tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. "King Hedley II" was premiered on Broadway in 2005.

Author Biography:

August Wilson's best-known plays are Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Jitney (both seen at the National Theatre, where Jitney won the Olivier Award for Best Play), Joe Turner's Come and Gone, The Piano Lesson and Two Trains Running (all seen at the Tricycle Theatre). He has twice won the Pulitzer Prize. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
