August Wilson: Completing the Twentieth-Century Cycle

Beschreibung

Just prior to his death in 2005, August Wilson, arguably the most important American playwright of the last quarter-century, completed an ambitious cycle of ten plays, each set in a different decade of the twentieth century. This title examines from myriad perspectives the way his final works give shape and focus to his complete dramatic opus.
