In the still cool evenings of Pittsburgh's Hill district, familiar sounds fill the air. A rooster crows. Screen doors slam. The laughter of friends gathered for a backyard card game rises just above the wail of a mother who has lost her son. And there's the sound of the blues, played and sung by young men and women with little more than a guitar in their hands and a dream in their hearts.\u003cp\u003eAugust Wilson's \u003cb\u003eSeven Guitars\u003c\/b\u003e is the sixth chapter in his continuing theatrical saga that explores the hope, heartbreak, and heritage of the African-American experience in the twentieth century. The story follows a small group of friends who gather following the untimely death of Floyd \"Schoolboy\" Barton, a local blues guitarist on the edge of stardom. Together, they reminisce about his short life and discover the unspoken passions and undying spirit that live within each of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\r","brand":"August Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44506499940588,"sku":"9780452276925","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44506499973356,"sku":"9781559363013","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780452276925.jpg?v=1720102477","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/seven-guitars","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
