Jitney is the eighth play in August Wilsons Pittsburgh Cycle. It takes place in The Hill District of Pittsburgh in 1977, in a gypsy cab station, during Pittsburghs period of so-called urban renewal. As the city tries to shut down businesses -- including the cab station -- to make way for a new building, we meet five gypsy cab drivers struggling to survive. Jitney is a beautiful addition to August Wilsons decade-by-decade cycle of plays about the Black American experience in the 20th century.
