Set in 1911, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone takes place in a Pittsburgh boarding house run by the steady Seth and the open-hearted Bertha Holly—a refuge for Black travelers navigating the upheaval of the Great Migration. Among them is Herald Loomis, a man searching for his lost wife—and for the self he lost during seven years of illegal enslavement under Joe Turner.

Frontmezzjunkies reports: Debbie Allen Revives August Wilson’s Masterpiece at the Barrymore Theatre
8 / 10
Now, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone returns to Broadway, beginning previews March 30 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Directed by Debbie Allen (Broadway’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), the production arrives with a sense of quiet anticipation that feels different from the usual Broadway build. This is not a show that announces itself loudly. It settles in and waits for you to come closer.
BROADWAY REVIEW: August Wilson’s ‘Joe Turner’ a must see before it’s ‘come and gone’
8 / 10
Allen’s production starts gently, as does the play, and it honors the other side of Wilson, which is to write about how Black people found spaces, even in 1911, for humor and community with each other. That’s manifest fabulously well here by Cedric and Santiago-Hudson, with Boyd and Wureh exploring the fate of young women adrift in this landscape and relying on men for an anchor, a rooting that too often proved elusive.
