Full Length, Tragic comedy
Characters: 4 male, 3 female
Exterior Set
The sixth in the author's decade by decade exploration of the
black experience in America, two of which have won Pulitzer Prizes,
Seven Guitars is part bawdy comedy, part dark elegy and part
mystery. In the backyard of a Pittsburgh tenement in 1948, friends
gather to mourn for a blues guitarist and singer who died just as
his career was on the verge of taking off. The action that follows
is a flashback to the busy week leading up to Floyd's sudden and
unnatural death.
"Displays a narrative sweep and almost biblical richness of
language and character.... Mr. Wilson writes so vividly that the
play seems to have the narrative scope and depth of a novel."-The
New York Times.
"Impressive ... with wild, untamed elements of symbolic fantasy,
and the language ... is used with the specific riff like fluency
and emotional impact of jazz."-New York Post.
Winner of the N.Y. Drama Critics Award for Best Play.
