It is the spring of 1948. Within the still cool evenings of Pittsburgh’s Hill district, familiar sounds fill the air. A rooster crows. Screen doors slam. The laughter of friends gathered for a backyard card game rises just above the wail of a mother who has lost her son. And there is the sound of the blues, played and sung by young women and men with little more than a guitar of their hands and a dream of their hearts.

August Wilson’s Seven Guitars is the sixth chapter in his continuing theatrical saga that explores the hope, heartbreak, and heritage of the African-American revel in Within the twentieth century. The tale follows a small group of friends who gather following the untimely death of Floyd “Schoolboy” Barton, a local blues guitarist at the edge of stardom. Together, they reminisce about his short life and discover the unspoken passions and undying spirit that live within each and every of them.
