SEVEN GUITARS at American Stage Theatre Company

“A play whose epic proportions and abundant spirit remind us of what the American theater once was.”
–New York Times

Floyd Barton is a natural musician with a hit song and, in the expansive atmosphere after World War II, he dreams of the big time. But as the play begins, his wife and friends mourn his death. In Wilson’s only play constructed in flashback, Seven Guitars takes us back to explore what happened. Who killed Floyd Barton, but more importantly, why? Mature subject matter and language.
