âThe concluding work in one of the most ambitious dramatic projects ever undertaken . . . a play that could well be Mr. Wilsonâs most provocative.ââBen Brantley, The New York Times âRadio Golf is a rich, carefully wrought human tapestry that is colorful, playful, thoughtful and compelling.ââEd Kaufman, The Hollywood Reporter Radio Golf is August Wilsonâs final play. Set in 1990 Pittsburgh, it is the conclusion of his Century CycleâWilsonâs ten-play chronicle of the African American experience throughout the twentieth centuryâand is the last play he completed before his death. With Radio Golf Wilsonâs lifework comes full circle as Aunt Esterâs onetime home at 1839 Wylie Avenue (the setting of the cycleâs first play) is slated for demolition to make way for a slick new real estate venture aimed to boost both the depressed Hill District and Harmond Wilksâ chance of becoming the cityâs first black mayor. A play in which history, memory, and legacy challenge notions of progress and country club ideals, Radio Golf has been produced throughout the country and will come to Broadway this season. August Wilsonâs plays include Gem of the Ocean, Joe Turnerâs Come and Gone, Ma Raineyâs Black Bottom, The Piano Lesson, Seven Guitars, Fences, Two Trains Running, Jitney, King Hedley II, and Radio Golf. They have been produced at theaters across the country, on Broadway, and throughout the world.
