August Wilson’s Tony Award-nominated masterpiece 'Seven Guitars' arrived at the Walter Kerr Theatre in 1996, running for an astonishing 299 performances and capturing the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. Standing as the brilliant, textually rich fifth chapter of his legendary ten-play Pittsburgh Cycle, the blues-infused naturalistic tragedy utilizes a fluid flashback structure following a funeral to chronicle the final weeks and tragic downfall of Floyd "Schoolboy" Barton, a gifted blues guitarist on the edge of stardom. Directed by Lloyd Richards, it starred Keith David.
