Ambitious, Absorbing, Great writing, Intense, Intelligent

See it if You are a fan of great writing by August Wilson, as he explores Africa-American and masculinity themes.

Don't see it if Some of the lines seemed rushed in the production I saw but the overall power of Wilson's words still came through.
