In this historic drama, part of ten celebrated works chronicling the African-American experience of the 20th Century, two-time Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner August Wilson says “They arrive carrying Bibles and guitars, their pockets lined with dust and fresh hope.”
Synopsis:
The great migration of African-Americans from the farms of the South to the cities of the North is captured in this drama of folks passing through a Pittsburgh boarding house in 1911. One of them is on a special quest, to find a mystical "Shining Man."
When a threatening stranger arrives, he suspects his quest may be at an end.
