It’s 1927 and Ma Rainey, the “Mother of the Blues,” is recording new sides of old favorites in a rundown studio in Chicago. Fiery and determined, Ma Rainey fights to retain control over her music, while her cocky trumpet player, Levee dreams of making his own name in the business. More than music goes down in August Wilson’s riveting portrayal of rage, racism, self-hatred, and exploitation.
MEET THE PLAYWRIGHT AUGUST WILSON
August Wilson was the author of ten landmark plays including Gem of the Ocean, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, The Piano Lesson, Seven Guitars, Fences, Two Trains Running, Jitney, King Hedley II, and Radio Golf. Together, these works form The American Century Cycle, a series that explores the history, culture, and lived experiences of African
Americans across each decade of the twentieth century. His plays have been produced on Broadway, in regional theaters across the United States, and internationally. Wilson received numerous honors, including Pulitzer Prizes for Fences and The Piano Lesson, a Tony Award for Fences, and multiple New York Drama Critics Circle Awards. In 1999, he was awarded the National Humanities Medal for his contributions to American culture. Born in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, his life and community deeply influenced his writing. Today, his plays continue to be widely produced and remain essential works in the American theatre canon.
