As I hoped would happen, the entire cycle of August Wilson's ten plays is going to be performed in order in the spring, fittingly at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC: from Gem of the Ocean, set in the first decade of the 20th century (March 4-8) to Radio Golf set in the last (March 28-29.)
I'm excited, though it doesn't seem practical for me to go. But I'm thinking about it!
Theatre Communications Group Books has just published a boxed set of the plays called The August Wilson Century Cycle (I think I liked it better as the Pittsburgh Cycle) with new prefaces by John Lahr, Phylicia Rashad, Frank Rich, Toni Morrison, Tony Kushner, Samuel G. Freedman, Laurence Fishburne, Ishmael Reed, Marion McClinton and Suzan-Lori Parks.
