Product Description
The most successful African-American playwright of his time, August Wilson is a dominant presence on Broadway and in regional theaters throughout the country. Herrington traces the roots of Wilson's drama back to the visual artists and jazz musicians who inspired award-winning plays like Ma Rainey's Come and Gone, Fences and The Piano Lesson. From careful analysis of evolving playscripts and from interviews with Wilson and theater professionals who have worked closely with him, Herrington offers a portrait of the playwright as thinker and craftsman.

A Helpful Guide for the Wilson Novice November 30, 2001
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is a useful, informative and well-researched account of Wilson's creative process. While those looking for critical essays or critiques of Wilson's plays will find it a bit thin, that is neither the intent nor focus of the book. It is devoted to the process by which Wilson creates, sythesizes, molds and finishes (or avoids finishing) his works. A valuable guide to Ma Rainey, Fences, Jitney and Joe Turner, as well as Wilson's success on Broadway and beyond. With an update that includes Piano Lesson and Seven Guitars, this text could prove to be an indispensible guide for the dramatic scholar interested in Wilson's work, mentors and influence.
