Citizen Barlow is looking for peace. To get it, he’ll knock at Aunt Ester’s door every day if that’s what it takes. Set in 1904, the opening installment in August Wilson’s The American Century Cycle includes the playwright’s most fantastical journey, where the secrets of the past point towards future liberation. “Gem of the Ocean” is the seventh production in the theater’s commitment to stage all ten of Wilson’s visionary epics.
