Gem of the Ocean will be performed at the Young Vic in London on 3 June 2027 at 20:00. This production is the first UK staging in 20 years of August Wilson’s work, which delves into the African-American experience and themes of resistance and redemption. Tickets start from £23.00.
From Young Vic Artistic Director and CEO Nadia Fall (Entertaining Mr Sloane) comes the first UK staging in 20 years of August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean, a riveting instalment in a decade-by-decade, ten-play chronicle of the African-American experience in the twentieth century. Set in Pittsburgh in 1903, it’s a powerful look at the rich history and spirituality of the African-American people, and a searing exploration of resistance, redemption, and the enduring search for freedom.
