This read like Fences part II; I know that it's part of Wilson's loose series on the plight of the black man, but it's just not a theme that interests me, especially because it seems like the issue always boils down to &quot;There's no money!

    <body><![CDATA[This Wilson play is not one of my favorites - but it investigates the relationship between a man, his relationship with a woman, and his attempt to reach his dream. Like Fences, the lead character is a Black man who has a dream, in this case, of making it big as a musician. As in Fences, the powers ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19647133">more...</a>]]></body>
