Jitney By: August Wilson


I felt the need to revisit an August Wilson play-and I chose Jitney.  Wilson's words are symphonic, his tone poetical and his characters are so real.  Set in the 70's this piece follows a group of Jitney drivers and their daily lives.  The scene between Rena and Youngblood is gorgeously rendered and Becker and Booster's reunion is rife with honesty nd heart.  A deeply moving piece!
