Overview
King Hedley II
The 1980s installment of August Wilson's acclaimed cycle, KING HEDLEY II follows the title character as he rediscovers relationships with his mother, his wife, and his community after a long absence. Examining legacy, destiny, and free will, Wilson uses family ties (and long kept secrets) to ask what most defines us: the blood we share, or the blood we spill?
This production represents Theatreworks fifth production towards completing Wilson’s ten play Pittsburgh Cycle.
