Alternative Title Musical Presence in August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Creator Adams, Chelsea
Collection Name Master of English
Description August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom offers a unique, fictional look into a day in the life of Ma Rainey and the blues musicians in her band. ... In order to illuminate the importance of Wilson's song choices in the play, even the songs that are just briefly mentioned and never heard on stage, I will show that Wilson, through his own admissions, strove to put black culture--particularly blues culture--on stage as he wrote Main Rainey's Black Bottom.
Subject Blues (Music); Theater; Acting; Fiction
