AUGUST WILSON'S

GEM OF THE OCEAN

directed by

Ben Bradley

(OVATION Award Best Director and Best Production,

Joe Turner's Come and Gone)

Set in 1904 at 1839 Wylie Avenue in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania's Hill District, Aunt Esther, the drama's 287-year-old fiery matriarch, welcomes into her home Solly Two Kings, who was born into slavery and scouted for the Union Armym, and Citizen Barlow, a young man from Alabama searching for a new life. Citizen Barlow is in search of redemption. Aunt Esther is not too old to practice healing; she guides him on a soaring, lyrical journey of spiritual awakening to the City of Bones.
