Summary

Ruben Santiago Hudson is the screenwriter of the new Netflix adaptation of August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Hudson is one of the smartest people on Wilson’s work—he knew Wilson, he’s acted in his plays, he’s directed them, he’s thought deeply about what Wilson’s work means. We dig deep into the work of August Wilson, the greatest African-American playwright of all time.
