The Ground on Which I Stand

By August Wilson

About this book

In this address, August Wilson asks who gets to make decisions about the development and presentation of Black theatre. He considers funding, casting, and the need for institutions that can sustain Black artists’ work. The text offers a way to discuss the conditions under which plays are produced as well as what an audience sees onstage.
