  3. Joe Turner's Come and Gone


As emancipated slaves flood north in search of employment and a chance to start over, Seth and Bertha Holly's boarding house in Pittsburgh, offers a new place to call home in this drama by the multiple Pulitzer prize-winning author of The Piano Lesson, Seven Guitars and Fences. When an angry and lost man arrives looking for his wife, forcibly removed from him years ago when he was captured and put in a chain gang by a man named Joe Turner, these once strangers are forced to confront their own demons and to come together to help him find his way. This is the first of two plays at P&P that look back at life 100 years ago in celebration of our 100th Anniversary Season. August Wilson is heralded as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century to explore black consciousness and culture.
