KING HEDLEY II
by August Wilson
Directed by Artistic Associate Manny Buckley
https://www.citylit.org/shows/46-kh2

First Chicago Storefront Production
25th Anniversary of the Broadway Production

Revisiting characters established in August Wilson’s Seven Guitars, this play returns to Pittsburgh’s Hill District in 1985. King Hedley, a man recently released from prison, attempts to rebuild his life by selling stolen refrigerators so he can buy a video store. Despite decades of generational trauma, can King break free from the crippling socio-economic struggles that have held him down? Amid the realities of rampant crime and drug use in the neighborhood community, he tries to carve out his own destiny.

Running time 3 hours, including a 10-minute intermission
