August Wilson’s Two Trains Running
Explore the depth of racism’s roots in America with August Wilson’s Pulitzer-finalist 1990 play. The last in Wilson’s Pittsburgh cycle, the play takes place in the context of the civil-rights movement, rioting, and gentrification, and focuses on Memphis Lee’s attempts to get a fair price for his restaurant when the city pans to demolish it.
