It won't be the novelty of these plays that will continue to draw us to Wilson's compelling portraits of the Hill District in Pittsburgh; it will be his indelibly drawn characters given new life by artists putting their own personal stamp on his work.

Russell), girlfriend Cornelia (Eunice Bae) and his Uncle (Song Kim).
