August Wilson
Full Length, Drama 8 m, 1 f Int. Set in 1970 in the Hill District of Pittsburgh that is served by a makeshift taxi company, Jitney is a beautiful addition to the author's decade by decade cycle of plays about the black American experience in the twentieth century. "Explosive... Crackles with theatrical energy."—N.Y. Daily News "Could be described as just a lot of men sitting around talking. But the talk has such varied range and musicality, and it is rendered with such stylish detail, that a complete urban symphony emerges.... Drivers return from jobs with stories that summon an entire ethos.... Throughly engrossing, Jitney holds us in charmed captivity."— New York Times "Comic, soulful and immensely moving."—Time Out "A transport of delight! So vividly written ... it keeps you steadily amused, concerned and moved."—New York Magazine Winner of the New York Drama Critics Award for Best New Play and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off Broadway Play. FEE: $100 per performance. Other August Wilson titles available from Samuel French include:
