A review by elenaakers
Seven Guitars by August Wilson

2.0

I wish I could’ve seen this performed instead of merely reading it. I’ve heard great things about this playwright but I didn’t feel particularly impacted by this play, which is probably part of not being able to see the more creative parts of hear the music woven through it. The voices did feel authentic, though, and I loved that this was set in Pittsburgh. The plot was fairly simple, and many of the characters, besides Hedley and I suppose Floyd, really blended together. Elements of it really reminded me of Of Mice and Men.
