A Noise Within presents
August Wilson’s King Hedley II
Directed by Gregg T. Daniel
King Hedley II continues the stories of characters first introduced in Seven Guitars and shows the tragic realities for Black men in 1980’s, Reagan-era Pittsburgh. After seven years in prison, King attempts to rebuild his life, peddling stolen refrigerators to get the money to buy a video store. But his self-worth is built on self-delusion, and he plants seeds where nothing will grow.
Starring: Aaron Jennings, Veralyn Jones, Ben Cain, Kacie Rogers, Gerald C. Rivers, and Evan Lewis Smith. Featuring the continued partnership of Director Gregg T. Daniel and A Noise Within on Wilson’s American Century Cycle.
“August Wilson’s unflinching new play may be the most passionate work that this astonishing American author has penned to date.” –Variety
Black Out Night is a purposeful, exciting creation of an environment in which an audience, self-identifying as Black, can come together and experience a performance in community. A reception will follow the performance, providing an opportunity for the audience to discuss their experience and to socialize! Non-Black-identifying patrons have the option to attend, or to select a different performance.
