August Wilson’s Jitney at the Seattle Rep
Life under Stress
Were I as eloquent as August Wilson, I might be able to articulate how great his masterpiece, Jitney, was but unlike Wilson, I am no Shakespeare. Suffice it to say production, presented at Seattle Rep, was an incredibly memorable evening filled with poetic wit, gripping characters, fantastic original music, astounding visual effects and a story which captured the dreams and struggles of the African American community at a particular moment in history. But like all great drama, its themes were universal. And then there was the humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
