A thoroughly revised version of a play Wilson first wrote in 1979, <i>Jitney</i> was produced in New York for the first time in spring 2000, winning rave reviews and the accolade of the New York Drama Critics Circle as the best play of the year. <br><br> One of contemporary theater's most distinguished and eloquent voices, August Wilson writes not about historical events or the pathologies of the black community, but, as he says, about "the unique particulars of black culture . . . I wanted to place this culture onstage in all its richness and fullness and to demonstrate its ability to sustain us . . . through profound moments in our history in which the larger society has thought less of us than we have thought of ourselves." 750403 2001 Jitney total:75|5:22|4:26|3:22|2:4|1:1| 75 289 113 9 3 0 false false Tue Apr 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 17:34:03 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 12:51:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Jan 09 19:47:27 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 19:48:05 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jun 21 18:43:37 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 18:44:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 13 13:46:27 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 13:46:36 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 20 19:24:07 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 20 19:24:07 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Mon Jun 18 00:59:45 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 18 01:08:32 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jul 25 15:27:46 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 25 15:29:24 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 08 22:01:23 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 01 10:47:22 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Feb 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 07:37:46 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 07:38:08 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 26 17:34:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 17:34:00 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Nov 18 17:26:47 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 17:26:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 18:27:01 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 18:27:01 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 31 21:58:02 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 21:58:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 03 09:53:33 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 09:53:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 29 12:10:57 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 12:10:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 13:23:51 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 13:23:52 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 09 17:41:59 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 17:41:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 07 21:30:31 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 21:30:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 26 23:33:57 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 23:34:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 13:32:13 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 13:32:13 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=764327
