In accordance with our meta agreement to have topic challenges and a later meta agreement to have topic challenges lasting for two months and overlapping by one month, it is time to announce the August–September 2024 topic challenge.
Based on the number of votes (+5, -1), our next topic challenge will be
the works of August Wilson
What's a topic challenge?
See the meta posts linked above, and also this main Meta post. In short, during August and September 2024 you are invited to try to get hold of one or more of the works by August Wilson, read them, and ask or answer questions about them.
Participation is not obligatory in any sense, and questions on other works are more than welcome during August and September too; they just won't count as part of this topic challenge.
How can I take part?
By getting hold of one or more of the works by August Wilson and
- asking good questions about it or
- answering questions that have been posted as part of this challenge or
- submitting a book review to our Tumblr blog.
Questions about these works should be tagged august-wilson (and a tag for any book-length work). We'll keep a list of all such questions in an answer to this meta post.
Below is EJoshuaS - Stand with Ukraine's presentation:
Theater (other than Shakespeare) is somewhat underrepresented on our site, and August Wilson's works are particularly relevant now in light of recent events. August Wilson (1945 – 2005) received two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama and a number of other awards.
What's next?
