A play in which history, memory, and legacy challenge notions of progress and country club ideals. With Radio Golf, Wilson's lifework comes full circle.
It's the late 1990s, and Aunt Ester's onetime home at 1839 Wylie Avenue (the setting of the cycle's first play) is slated for demolition. The goal of this slick real estate venture is to boost both the depressed Hill District and Harmond Wilks's chance of becoming Pittsburgh's first Black mayor.
The play is the final part of August Wilson's Century Cycle, his epic dramatization of the African American experience in the twentieth century.
This edition includes a foreword by Suzan-Lori Parks.
The concluding work in one of the most ambitious dramatic projects ever undertaken…a play that could well be Mr. Wilson's most provocative.
—Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Radio Golf is a rich, carefully wrought human tapestry that is colorful, playful, thoughtful and compelling.
—Ed Kaufman, The Hollywood Reporter
