Review - Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

Kudos to Red Bank’s exquisite Two River Theatre for introducing me to the brilliance of August Wilson and his 10 play series over the years.
The majestic use of lots of words, homegrown people and rich culture, I quickly became enamored with each of these special Pittsburgh stories.
So when Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, set in the 20’s, came to the big screen recently, I was all over it. Add to it that it stars one of the worlds top 5 actors , Viola Davis (winner of an Academy Award, a Tony & an Emmy), it had to be very good. In recent years, she was in another August Wilson Film Fences with Denzel Washington which was spectacularly powerful.
