August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean follows a young man named Citizen Barlow who arrives at the home of Aunt Ester, a legendary 285-year-old spiritual healer in 1904 Pittsburgh, seeking redemption from a terrible secret. His journey takes him aboard the mythical ship Gem of the Ocean and into the City of Bones as he explores themes of freedom, responsibility, and generational legacy. This play is the soaring first chapter of Wilson's landmark American Century Cycle, rich with poetry, humor, history, and spiritual power.
