Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "August Wilson's grim and gritty 'King Hedley' continues to unsettle and inform audiences in a new production at the August Wilson Center.
Produced through a cooperative association between Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre Company and The August Wilson Center for African American Culture, it's arguably the closest to Greek tragedy that Wilson came in his 10-play chronicle of the African-American experience in the 20th century.
It's set in Pittsburgh's Hill District in 1985, a time of hopelessness and violence when it seemed as though everyone had a gun, a gang and a grudge.
