Seven Guitars by August Wilson

5.0

Saw a post the other day about the upcoming film of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, by August Wilson. Back in the early 90s I wrote audience/teacher guides for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts play productions. For each play, I'd interview cast members, directors, backstage folks, and, when possible the authors of the plays. Every season the Center would do an August Wilson play, always directed by Israel Hicks. Fences, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, Ma Rainey are the ones I remember. Powerful stuff. I look forward to the film version of Ma Rainey, though I didn't think much of the Denzel Fences. Didn't come close to the power of the play.
This one brought back the power of Fences
