DIRECTOR’S NOTE “I say the only thing I can do here is say goodbye” … from Seven Guitars by August Wilson

M

y favorite film quote ever is from Postcards from the Edge, in which Meryl Streep’s character says, “I don’t want life to imitate art, I want life to be art.”

Before he evolved into a master playwright, August Wilson was first and foremost a poet, a fact which is clearly heralded in his dramatic writings by way of the seismic and multi-textured speeches rendered through the characters in his American Century Cycle – a play for each decade in the 20th century representing black life in America. Cast of Fences. L-R: Jeorge Bennett Watson (Bono), Jimmie “J.J.” Jeter

This Pioneer Theatre (Cory), Michael Anthony Williams (Troy), Gayle Samuels (Rose), Company production of Fences Meg Hoglund (Raynell), Biko Eisen-Martin (Lyons), and Jefferson A. is a culmination of my very own Russell (Gabriel) personal 2016 August Wilson Festival which comes on the heels of my having just directed Jitney (Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park) and Seven Guitars (Yale Repertory Theatre). And though I have directed nine of the ten plays from Wilson’s opus multiple times, revisiting these three plays reaffirmed for me that there is no bottom to the constant unearthing of deeper meaning contained within them.

Wilson composed dialogue at an operatic scale, and also lived his life just as expansively … something I would come to viscerally understand while directing the world premiere of the final play in the Cycle, Radio Golf, in 2005. Too soon after the premiere of that play, August lost his battle with cancer.

When I and others used to ask him what plans he had once the Cycle was completed, he would often respond with something akin to his “giving up the body.” I’d always assumed he was waxing philosophical in his usual and clever wordsmithing, only to be confronted by the fact that he did indeed complete his life and work in his ultimate poetic way.

It is true that in nine out of the ten plays a black man dies – or is “sacrificed” – as part of the central plot of the story. This is a tragedy on the human scale, to be sure, but an event that metaphorically nods toward the proverbial blood sacrifice deemed essential for deliverance into the next evolutionary leap: a leap mandated to benefit most those left behind. It only recently occurred to me that the only play in which there is no corporeal transition is Radio Golf, and while recently musing on this fact it finally dawned on me … it was August Wilson himself who was the one to make that ultimate sacrifice just after his completion of the Cycle’s finale.

In Seven Guitars one character asks, “I wonder did he know?” and another muses, “I believe every man know something, but most times don’t pay attention to it.”

DRAMATURGICAL NOTE “Sameness” vs. Difference: Chronicling Black Life

By Martine Kei Green-Rogers

A

ugust Wilson used the work he created and his voice in the theatre to speak to Black experiences, and to advocate for talented Black artists by insisting that artists of color were used to create productions of his work. For example, his 1996 speech “The Ground on Which I Stand” was a call to action for African American artists to form their own theatres and begin their own cultural preservation in order to protest a theatre environment that marginalized the contribution of African American artists. This speech led to many conversations (which the American theatre field continues to have) about the casting and hiring of artists of color for shows. Wilson’s position in this speech was two-fold; that he wanted to provide work for African American theatre artists since they are marginalized in American theatre, and that a natural understanding of the culture was a necessity for his plays – something that an artist outside of the race/culture could not completely understand.

Wilson’s dedication to placing the stories of African Americans onstage and using them as the artists to tell these stories has helped launch the careers of numerous directors, actors, designers, dramaturgs, etc. of color in the United States.

Inspired by Ed Bullins’s cycle of plays centering on the 20th century, Wilson wrote his own cycle, mostly set in Pittsburgh, which has been named “The American Century Cycle: a play for each decade in the 20th century about the African-American experience.” There is one piece for each decade in the 20th century:  1900s - Gem of the Ocean (2003)  1950s - Fences (1987)  1910s - Joe Turner’s Come and Gone (1988)  1960s - Two Trains Running (1991)  1920s - Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (1984)  1970s - Jitney (1982)  1930s - The Piano Lesson (1990)  1980s - King Hedley II (1999)  1940s - Seven Guitars (1995)  1990s - Radio Golf (2005) Fences holds a special place within Wilson’s canon of work. As Wilson describes in an interview with Bonnie Lyons in 1997 (published in 1999 in Contemporary Literature), In Fences [Whites] see a garbageman, a person they really don’t look at, although they may see a garbageman every day. By looking at Troy’s life, white people find out that the content of this black garbageman’s life is very similar to their own, that he is affected by the same things-love, honor, beauty, betrayal, duty. Recognizing that these things are as much a part of his life as of theirs can be revolutionary and can affect how they think about and deal with black people in their lives (2-3).

At a time when painful divisions between various ethnic and racial communities exist (and there are still issues for artists of color to find their artistic homes in the American theatre scene) – the illustration of “sameness” as well as the ways that race and ethnicity may cause lives in this country to take very different paths is a story that is as important now as it was when Wilson wrote this play in 1987. Revisiting this story in 2017 will help us remember that love, compassion, equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility are American values that should always have a place in our society.
