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","brand":"August Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45894611206356,"sku":"9780452276925","price":19.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_61c08332-7d6e-4373-aab9-cd933eae5349.jpg?v=1732439830","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780452276925","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
