About This Show

Starring Roger Robinson, winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a play.

“Great works of art often tote heavy baggage. Yet the revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, a drama of indisputable greatness, feels positively airborne.”
— Ben Brantley, The New York Times
