I recently saw Radio Golf at the cort theater and enjoyed it immensely. This the last play that August Wilson wrote before his death, and it is the tenth in a series of plays about the African American experience in the hill district of Pittsburgh. I have seen some of the others which I truthfully don't remember that well , but this one was great.
It is about a succesful real estate developer and mayoral candidate who is planning to build a large housing complex in a "blighted," area with his friend who is obssesed with upward mobility money and golf. They run into issues when there are objections from the owner of a house on the site and the plot spirals from there.
It is a very interesting thought provoking play that really doesn't go in the direction you expect. It is also laugh out loud funny for most of it, and superbly acted by the small cast in the current show. It is tough to review a play this complex in a short blurb, but the Times did a decent job recently if you want more detail. I thought is was funnier and better overall than they did though (they are professional critics after all) so listen to me instead and check out the play. read more
