The lives of seven friends are irrevocably changed when their old friend and blues singer Floyd Barton reappears with a chance of a lifetime. Infused with deep and soaring blues rhythms, this rich and exceptionally vivid (Variety)play pits the determination for a better future against the harsh realities ultimately leading to heartbreaking and inescapable circumstances. Director Tazewell Thompson returns to Arena Stage to direct August Wilsons Seven Guitars the fifth play in Wilsons American Century Cycle and the second half of Arena Stage Giants Festival featuring August Wilson.
