Seven Guitars Seven Guitars The play I chose for my analysis was Seven Guitars by August Wilson. Seven Guitars opened on January 21, 1995, at the Goodman Theater in Chicago, Illinois. Later that year on September 15, 1995, Seven Guitars opened at the Huntington Theater Company in Boston, Massachusetts. Seven Guitars premiered on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theater on March 28, 1996. The play Seven Guitars requires the reader to imagine the poverty and times that black people were enduring in the 1940’s. The play revealed how black people felt about society in the 40’s and how they were discriminated against. My overall response to Seven Guitars was one of surprise and sympathy. I was surprised with the attitudes of the characters in the play in the fact that they were callous and not afraid to resort to violence if needed. The author, August Wilson, portrayed the lack of education of colored people in the times of discrimination and segregation very well which made the play more believable and understandable. The sympathy I felt was from the point of view that no matter what characters did it was practically impossible to climb out of poverty or escape the wrath of the seven, guitars, play, hedley, floyd, money, because, canewell, vera, about, wilson, louise, buddy, august, characters, takes, ruby, people, out, one, man, house, believes, record, meaning, black, red, plays, look, lives, father, chicago, carter, bolden, backyard, american
