Chicago Tribune: I often wish August Wilson would come back to life to help us all make sense of our riven America.
I walked into the Court Theatre on Saturday night just hours after watching the Serena Williams debacle at the U.S. Open. In Hyde Park, I found a play that had nothing to do with tennis, yet delivered most everything you needed to know about what had just taken place in New York. You just had to know where to look. Rooted in history, Wilson’s beyond-the-grave understanding was far more profound that the instant-reaction commentariat you likely now are following on Twitter. It hit me with the power of one of Williams’ own serves.
