A one-man show is a monumental undertaking—and a monumental responsibility. For veteran REP actor Hassan El-Amin – who is Black -there is further gravitas in giving voice to August Wilson’s HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED, a 90-minute, no-intermission journey through the experiences that forged one of America’s greatest playwrights. Wilson created the remarkable American Century Cycle, ten plays chronicling the African American experience across ten decades of the 20th century. They include Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Fences and The Piano Lesson, the latter two earning Pulitzer Prizes. His works have been produced on Broadway and around the world. Denzel has made them part of his life’s work.

After discussing gossip and patriarchy with Anne Boleyn in 1536, Ava Pickett keeps exploring the female spheres through the figure of Helen of Troy in Bloodsport. The war is over, and Helen has returned home. She has been brought back home, to be specific. Her husband is ecstatic, but her former best friend and confidante, Cee, doesn’t take the news well. Pickett reframes the Trojan War, setting it in contemporary Essex, in a play that raises a multitude of intersectionally feminist questions. 

Steven Sater exclusively tells BroadwayWorld why never-before-heard tracks from 'Spring Awakening' were taken out of the musical and ultimately replaced.

His death is part of the mystique of the show, but it's also the problem - what might another month of retooling have brought about?
