Gem of the Ocean - by August Wilson (Paperback)

Gem of the Ocean is a powerful and moving play that marks the beginning of August Wilson's decade-by-decade cycle dramatizing the African American experience during the 20th century.

Set in 1904 Pittsburgh, this play follows Aunt Esther, a fiery matriarch born into slavery, as she welcomes two newcomers to her Hill District home: Solly Two Kings, who was born into slavery and scouted for the Union Army, and Citizen Barlow, a young man from Alabama searching for a new life.

With Phylicia Rashad in the iconic role of Aunt Esther, Gem of the Ocean is a must-see for fans of Wilson's work and anyone interested in American history and culture.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience one of the most influential and successful African American playwrights writing today.
