Set in a backyard in the decaying Hill District of Pittsburgh, King Hedley II follows the characters created by August Wilson in Seven Guitars. A woman is tormented by a secret she has kept for 36 years, while her only son returns home after serving time for murder to find a neighborhood riddled with crime, poverty and broken families. King's epic struggle to survive is at the center of this poetic portrayal of life in the inner city during the 1980's.

Due to the popularity of our $15 ticket initiative, ticket availability for KING HEDLEY II is extremely limited. Please be patient and be ready with multiple dates. You may also try calling our box office at (212) 244-PLAY.

For sold out performances, standby tickets are sold one hour prior to curtain in person at the box-office. This is on a first come, first serve basis.
