The 1980s installment of August Wilson’s acclaimed American Century Cycle, King Hedley II follows the title character as he rediscovers relationships with his mother, his wife and his community after a long absence. Drawing on characters established in Wilson’s Seven Guitars, this masterwork shows the shadows of the past reaching into the present as King Hedley II seeks retribution for a lie that his mother has perpetrated about his father’s identity.
