Stage Review: Today's Pittsburgh adds to the power of August Wilson's 'Radio Golf'
PostGazette: "Community or individual, which comes first? That larger issue of self-definition dominates all Wilson's plays. But in 'Radio Golf' he makes it triply fresh. First, the play is his most contemporary, set in 1997, barely yesterday in theatrical terms. Second, the issues of Hill District redevelopment couldn't be more current. And third, Wilson tackles the black middle class for the first time, challenging it to live up to a painful heritage."

So I hear there was a question on the news quiz about Radio Golf. The one time I would by default know the answer and I missed it!
Anyway, I'll put a comment while I'm here. I loved the roles of Elder Joseph Barlow and Sterling Johnson. For me, these two characters propelled the show, and would be the reason for me to go back and see it again.
