KING HEDLEY II

Santa Monica College Theatre Arts students perform during a dress rehearse of August Wilson's Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize nominated play 'King Hedley II' at SMC's Main Stage on Wednesdasy, March 31, 2010.

 
This is the ninth in the renowned playwright's 10-part Pittsburgh Cycle that explores the black experience in America. Set in the 1980s "King Hedley II," tells the story of an ex-con trying to rebuild his life. Described as one of Wilson's darkest plays, it follows Hedley - a man whose self worth is built on self delusion - as he tries to save $10,000 by selling stolen refrigerators so he can open a video store. Getting, spending, killing and dying in a world where getting is hard and killing is commonplace are threads woven into the piece.
