One character in this play loses “a weight of impossible description”, leading to “a trauma that a sane and normal mind would be unable to withstand.” The description of this play’s setting includes an old-fashioned icebox on a porch, two oil drum garbage receptors, a wooden sawhorse, and a tree with a ball of rags hanging from it. A character in this play’s dancing is described as “slow, strange” and (*) “atavistic.” A stage direction in this play describes a batting posture as a character taunts “Death, the fastball on the outside corner.” At the end of this play, “the gates of heaven stand open as wide as God’s closet” after Gabriel fails to blow on a trumpet. For 10 points, name this play about Troy Maxson’s job as a garbage collector in Pittsburgh, by August Wilson. ■END■
