Ruben Santiago-Hudson Plays August Wilson in a New Show

NYTimes.com: Ruben Santiago-Hudson has starred in August Wilson’s plays, winning a Tony Award for “Seven Guitars” in 1996. He has directed Wilson’s plays, recently winning Lucille Lortel and Obie Awards for “The Piano Lesson.” And he served this year as artistic director for New York Public Radio’s readings and archival recording of Wilson’s 10-play cycle about the African-American experience in the 20th century. In other words, he has become perhaps the foremost interpreter of this legendary playwright, who died of liver cancer in 2005.
