Family Cycles

the more chapters, the merrier

Century Cycle.

What a great name for a genre. That’s another one my kids would love. My husband heard it for the first time from a half-size human “small body, big brain- that’s what they say about me.” His dad had directed the first of 3 plays in a family cycle - 1920’s, 1950’s, 1980’s. Doesn’t count. Not a century.

“One for every decade. Turn of the century to turn of the century.”

Those are the August Wilson plays….he has seen all of them already…he is a fourth of my age…I have a masters degree in theater…I have work to do.
