From the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright of "Fences" and "The
Piano Lesson"
"The glow accompanying August Wilson's place in contemporary
American theater is fixed." - Toni Morrison
When Harold Loomis arrives at a black Pittsburgh boardinghouse
after seven years' impressed labor on Joe Turner's chain gang, he
is a free man--in body. But the scars of his enslavement and a
sense of inescapable alienation oppress his spirit still, and the
seemingly hospitable rooming house seethes with tension and
distrust in the presence of this tormented stranger. Loomis is
looking for the wife he left behind, believing that she can help
him reclaim his old identity. But through his encounters with the
other residents he begins to realize that what he really seeks is
his rightful place in a new world--and it will take more than the
skill of the local "People Finder" to discover it.
This jazz-influenced drama is a moving narrative of
African-American experience in the 20th century.
