The August Wilson Century Cycle
TCG Books is pleased to announce the publication of The August Wilson Century Cycle, available for the first time in its entirety, in a ten-volume, hardcover, slipcased edition.
The series is introduced by John Lahr, senior drama critic at the New Yorker, and contains forewords by noted writers and theatre artists with a special connection to August Wilson’s work: Laurence Fishburne, Samuel G. Freedman, Tony Kushner, Romulus Linney, Marion McClinton, Toni Morrison, Suzan-Lori Parks, Phylicia Rashad, Ishmael Reed and Frank Rich.
The Century Cycle is August Wilson’s epic dramatization of the African American experience and heritage in the twentieth century. Each decade has a play; almost all of them are set in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, where he grew up. Wilson’s extraordinary lifework—completed just before his death in October 2005—has been called “one of the most ambitious dramatic projects ever undertaken.” (New York Times)
The ten-volume box set is now available for a special introductory price of $200.00 (the hardcover editions are also available separately for $25.00 each).
