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.
