EVENT INFORMATION
Directed by Lundeana Thomas
Citizen Barlow is looking for peace. To get it, he'll knock at Aunt Ester's door every day if that's what it takes. Set in 1904, the opening installment in Wilson's The American Century Cycle includes the playwright's most fantastical journey, where the secrets of the past point towards future liberation.
Although the ninth play produced, chronologically it is the first installment of his decade-by-decade, ten-play chronicle, The Pittsburgh Cycle, dramatizing and exploring themes of self-identity, freedom and the African-American experience in the twentieth century.
