Set in Pittsburgh in 1948, Seven Guitars tells the story of the aspirations of a young blues guitarist on the brink of fame and immediate circle of friends. It is a passionate and compelling portrait of their hopes, fears, disappointments, and triumphs. Once again, August Wilson has captured the spirit of a generation of African-Americans, turning their unique experience into a powerful drama of tremendous depth. Tony Award winner Lloyd Richards will direct the newest play by two time Pulitzer Prize winning playwright August Wilson, continuing one of the most fruitful collaborations in contemporary American theatre.
