Seattle resident and internationally renowned playwright August Wilson has been diagnosed with liver cancer. His play 7 Guitars was one of my favorite productions at Ashland and upon seeing it, I knew August Wilson was a genius. I saw its sequel King Hedley at Seattle Rep and was blown away. Jitney toured to Seattle Rep. as well and was amazing. I have yet to see Fences and The Piano Lesson, the two plays for which Wilson has won Pulitzer Prizes, but I hope to some day. May he be blessed with a complete recovery for the joy and value and humanity he has brought to the world, which is a much better place for him having been here.
