About August Wilson’s Seven Guitars
Directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson, August Wilson’s Seven Guitars comes to Lincoln Center Theater in a powerful new revival of one of Wilson’s most lyrical and intimate plays. Set in 1940s Pittsburgh, Wilson’s haunting drama follows blues musician Floyd “Schoolboy” Barton, a man determined to win back the woman he loves and build a future beyond the limitations of Black life in America. As his friends gather and stories about Barton flow, what emerges is a richly layered portrait of masculinity and ambition, artistry, community and the collective weight of dreams deferred. Santiago-Hudson’s celebrated history with Wilson’s work, including the Tony Award- winning revival of Jitney and his most recent Tony nominated role as Bynum Walker in Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, brings decades of insight to this electrifying work.
